Observations on the biology of Trox procerus Har. (Coleoptera, Trogidae), a predator of the eggs of the Desert Locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forsk.)
Bulletin of Entomological Research 49 (3), 449-465
Abstract: Published records and recent observations on the occurrence and biology of Trox procerus are assembled. The egg and larval stages have been recorded only from egg-fields of Schistocerca gregaria. The larvae feed on the eggs of the locust, sometimes causing considerable mortality.
