🪲Lasioderma serricorne

Lasioderma serricorne Fabricius, 1792

Der Tabakkäfer (Lasioderma serricorne) ist ein Käfer aus der Familie der Nagekäfer (Ptinidae). Die Art tritt an gelagerten Tabakprodukten auf und ist neben dem Brotkäfer (Stegobium paniceum) die einzige bekannte Art der Nagekäfer, die auch in gelagerten Lebensmitteln zu finden ist. Die Art wird auf Grund dieser Nahrungsvorlieben als Schädling betrachtet, der den Menschen bereits seit langer Zeit begleitet. Man hat Tabakkäfer sogar in den getrockneten Rosinen des Grabs von Tutanchamun gefunden.
