Reesa
Reesa is a monotypic genus of skin beetles (Dermestidae) established by Beal in 1967. The sole species, Reesa vespulae, is a small beetle native to North America that has become a widespread invasive pest of heritage collections and stored products. The species is obligately parthenogenetic—only females are known—and can establish populations from a single individual. Genetic research suggests close relationship to Trogoderma angustum and South American species, with some authors proposing merger into Eurhopalus, though this remains disputed.
