Trogoderma ballfinchae
Trogoderma ballfinchae is a species of dermestid beetle in the genus Trogoderma. The genus Trogoderma comprises Northern Hemisphere species, with members known as significant pests of stored grain and stored products. Following molecular phylogenetic studies, Trogoderma was redefined to include only Northern Hemisphere taxa, with Southern Hemisphere species reassigned to Eurhopalus. No specific biological or ecological data have been published for T. ballfinchae.
Trogoderma breve
Trogoderma breve is a species of dermestid beetle in the family Dermestidae, subfamily Megatominae. Like other members of the genus Trogoderma, it is associated with stored product environments. The genus Trogoderma includes several significant stored grain pests, most notably the khapra beetle (T. granarium), which is a federally quarantined pest in the United States. Trogoderma species are characterized by their ability to withstand adverse conditions, including extended periods without food.
Trogoderma grassmani
Trogoderma grassmani is a species of dermestid beetle in the genus Trogoderma, described by Beal in 1954. Like other members of its genus, it belongs to a group of beetles commonly known as cabinet beetles or warehouse beetles, many of which are significant pests of stored products. The species is native to North America. Information specific to this species is limited compared to better-known congeners such as Trogoderma granarium (khapra beetle) and Trogoderma variabile (warehouse beetle).
Trogoderma simplex
Trogoderma simplex is a species of dermestid beetle in the family Dermestidae. Like other members of the genus Trogoderma, it belongs to a group known for stored product pest species. The genus Trogoderma was historically considered polyphyletic and has been taxonomically revised, with Northern Hemisphere species including T. simplex retained in Trogoderma while Southern Hemisphere species were moved to Eurhopalus.
