Material examined.

Apulia: Lecce prov., Salento, Torre S. Giovanni dint., 1-7.VII.2002, PC GC, sn, 1 ex (PCOP). Venetia: Verona prov., Verona, [Fraz.] Cancello, [about 500 m], 22.VI.1986, sn, PC, 1 ex (PCOP).

Chorotype.

Cosmopolitan (cf. Háva and Herrmann 2011, Háva and Nardi 2011, Háva et al. 2011).

Italian distribution.

Lombardy ( Nicoli Aldini 1999, Háva and Nardi 2011), Liguria ( Luigioni 1929), Emilia-Romagna ( Nicoli Aldini 1999), Latium ( Nardi R. et al. 1993, Nicoli Aldini 1999), Basilicata [?] ( Angelini and Montemurro 1986, Audisio et al. 1995), Sicily ( Kraatz 1858, Mulsant and Rey 1868, Ragusa 1892, Bertolini 1904, Porta 1929, Mroczkowski 1968) and Sardinia (cf. Háva and Nardi 2011).

The first Italian record of this species was provided by Kraatz (1858) who recorded it from Sicily (without a precise locality), while some authors ( Bertolini 1874, Dal Monte 1972, Háva 2007) and Zhantiev (2011a) recorded it from Italy and mainland Italy, respectively, without further details. Moreover, Nicoli Aldini (1999: 8) also recorded it from alcune città del Nord-Italia [= some towns of Northern Italy] but without mentioning the regions.

Remarks.

In Italy, this species and Trogoderma versicolor (Creutzer, 1799) have often been confused (cf. Nicoli Aldini 2003b, Háva and Nardi 2011); old Italian records in the literature must be thus considered with caution. Trogoderma inclusum is recorded here for the first time from Apulia and Venetia. This species is a stored product pest; it also develops in nests of social aculeate Hymenoptera , and is a predator of egg masses of Lymantria dispar (Linnaeus, 1758) ( Lepidoptera , Erebidae , Lymantriinae ) (cf. Háva and Nardi 2011).
