The cigarette beetle,Lasioderma serricorne(F.), is a cosmopolitan species which infests a wide variety of host materials. Strong and Okumura (1958) reported it from 24 different hosts in California including stored seed of many cereals, small grains, vegetables, and in processed products of many of these, including soybean meal. However, they did not report this insect from stored soybean seed. As far as we can determine,L. serricornehas not been reported as infesting stored soybean seed.
