Thirty eight species of noxious insects belonging to three orders and 14 families are reported; the coleopterons were the taxa of highest incidence, represented by 33 species, of those which Ahasverus advena Waltl., Zabrotes subfasciatus (Boheman), Oryzaephilus surinamensis Linnaeus, Carpophilus dimidiatus (Fabricius) and Tribolium castaneum Herbst., were the most frequents. Rice and beans were the foods of highest attack, although severe infestations was also observed in powdered milk, nutritious pasture, coffee, lentil, and seeds and concentrated, products that constituted new host reports for Carpophilus dimidiatus. Liposcelis sp. (Psocoptera: Liposcelidae) is informed for the first time as pest insect of warehouse in our province, due to their detection in several foods and the skin damage wich it caused to the warehouses workers.
