Fig. 2. Stereomicroscope examination of cigarette beetle larva, L. serricorne (A, lateral view 202
and B, ventral view) which revealed a C-shaped, yellowish-white larva, thinly covered with 203
fine brown hairs with visible legs. The light brown coloured head is evenly rounded dorsally. 204

Fig. 3. BOLD identification tree. This tree is produced by a full database sequence 206
identification request in BOLD for the larval specimen. The sequence (designated as 207
unknown specimen) groups closely with those from Egypt, France, Cambodia, China, and 208
Brazil; and the species is nested within a cluster of Lasioderma serricorne. 209
