Extract

Early in 1933, Dr. E. G. Hood of the Dairy and Cold Storage Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, submitted to the Dominion Entomologist some specimens of dermestid insect larvae taken in a dried milk establishment at Princeton, Ont. These insects which were passed to me, resembled larvae of the buffalo carpet beetle. Adult beetles that emerged late in March and in April, however, showed the species to be Trogoderma versicolor Creutzer (det. W. J. Brown).
