Abstract: Adults of the histerid Teretriosoma nigrescens Lewis, a predator of the Larger Grain Borer Prostephanus truncatus (Horn), were captured under field conditions in Costa Rica within the same pheromone traps as the stored product pest. Neither insect could be found in unbaited traps. The possible kairomonal importance of the prey's pheromone is discussed.
