Summary

Insects can be imported by ships in ballast, cargoes, woodwork and residues of former shipments in corners and clefts. There are given examples for noxious insects on cargoes. Termites, perhaps Cryptotermes sp. have destroyed harmonicas being transported from Germany to South Africa. The winged adults of Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) swarmed out of woodwork of cabin for wireless telegraphy on a Westindian steamer arriving the port of Hamburg June 1966. On the voyage to Chile Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) could attack soup meal made in Germany by Solenopsis geminata F. biting through the metallic foil of multiwall bags. Young larves of Dermestes maculatus Deg. gnawed at goats skin of native drums from Mombassa. The infection of copra by Periplaneta americana L. is discused and a case of butterfly itch by Hylesia canitia Stoll reported.
