Abstract: Till now little is known about the three species of genus Adelina (Spor., Coccidia) living as pathogens in insects pests of stores. In the course of investigations in old mills in the Kosova region, Yugoslawia, two Adelina species were found in insects. Adelina mesnili parasitized two species of Lepidoptera (Ephestia kühniella, E. elutella) and was restricted to four of nine places. Its quota in the total parasitization with Adelina amounted to 15,7%. Adelina tribolii parasitized six species of Coleoptera (Attagenus pellio, A. piceus, A. fasciolatus, Laemophloeus ferrugineus, Trogoderma granaria, Gracilia albanica) and was be found in all the nine places which were investigated. Its quota amounted to 84,3%.
