(Latin: Niptus hololeucus)
In this beetle the body is closely beset with yellow hairs.
It can feed on almost anything and when it appears in a house, the source of infection may be dead chicks in a bird’s nest or little collections of seeds in the loft.
Now and again this beetle has been recorded as a pest of textiles.
