Carcinops troglodytes (Erichson) (Coleoptera: Histeridae) predando larvas de Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) em aviários

We first record Carcinops troglodytes (Paykull) as a predator of Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) larvae in poultry houses in North and Northwest regions of the state of Paraná. Carcinops spp. are commonly recorded as predators of dipterans, and this record in poultry houses indicates the possibility of exploiting such predator for future studies aiming the development of management strategies for A. diaperinus.
