Gibbium
hump beetle
Gibbium is a genus of small beetles in the family Ptinidae, commonly known as hump beetles. The genus contains at least two recognized species: G. aequinoctiale, which has a cosmopolitan distribution, and G. psylloides, found in the Palearctic, Southeast Asia, and North Africa. These beetles are primarily known as stored-product pests, feeding on dried animal and plant material. Gibbium species have been studied for their feeding behavior, developmental biology, and role as hosts for parasitoid wasps.
