Bostrychidae

Common name: Horned powder-post Beetles.

A cosmopolitan family of about 700 species in the order Coleoptera. The adults, known as false powder-post beetles, bear a large pronotum that covers the head. The dark body is cylindrical, truncated posteriorly. The larvae have large thoractic segments and a curved abdomen. They usually develop in trunks or branches of weakened or dead trees, and at least one species, (Rhyzopertha dominica), is a pest of stored products. Other Middle Eastern pests include Apate monachus and Phonapate frontalis.
