ABSTRACT In the past, woodborers like A. punctatum and X. rufovillosum were widespread in historic furniture, households, and building structures, but as they need a high wood moisture content and central heating and climate control have become common today their occurrence is rare and often limited to open-air museums, rural museums, and historic buildings. In this paper, we report on the spread and transportation of different wood-boring beetles with wooden pallets, wooden transport boxes used for art transportation, and also the rising problem of different Lyctus species (powder post beetles) in new wood used in museums. Not only the native Lyctus linearis but also the introduced L. brunneus, L. cavicollis, and L. africanus can be found in transport boxes (nine cases in Germany between 2003 and 2015), infestations of new picture frames (three cases in Austria between 2010 and 2015), and new wood sold to carpenters in museum and conservation studios (used for new stretcher and picture frames, two cases in Austria). In some cases (two in Germany) a newly-laid parquet floor was infested by powder post beetles. The house longhorn beetle (H. bajulus), the furniture beetle (A. punctatum), and the Anobiid Oligomerus ptilinoides were all found infesting wooden pallets inside museum stores (five cases in Austria). New wooden pallets and transport boxes are treated once with heat after production, but our examples show that infestation and transportation of wood pests are still possible and are a new challenge for integrated pest management (IPM) in the future. We examine and discuss the materials used to transport art and possible measures to combat and prevent pests (plastic pallets or the use of other wood types). In addition, the biology and life-history of powderpost beetles is described.

木运输箱、木托盘、博物馆新购木材运输木螟

摘要 过去，A. punctatum 和 X. rufovillosum 等蛀木虫广泛存在于历史家具、家庭和建筑结构中，但由于它们需要较高的木材水分含量和集中供暖和气候控制，如今它们的发生很少且通常仅限于露天博物馆、乡村博物馆和历史建筑。在本文中，我们报道了不同的​​木托盘、用于艺术品运输的木制运输箱的木螟的传播和运输，以及博物馆使用的新木材中不同种类的螟（粉螟）的问题。不仅是本地的 Lyctus linearis，而且引进的 L. brunneus、L. cavicollis 和 L. Africanus 都可以在运输箱中找到（2003 年至 2015 年德国有 9 例），新相框的侵扰（2010 年至 2015 年间在奥地利发生了三起案件），以及出售给博物馆和保护工作室的木匠的新木材（用于新的担架和相框，奥地利发生了两起案件）。在某些情况下（德国有两个），新铺设的镶木地板会被粉螟虫侵扰。长角牛甲虫 (H. bajulus)、家具甲虫 (A. punctatum) 和 Anobiid Oligomerus ptilinoides 都被发现侵扰博物馆商店内的木托盘（奥地利有五个案例）。新的木托盘和运输箱在生产后进行一次热处理，但我们的例子表明，木材害虫的侵染和运输仍然是可能的，是未来综合虫害管理 (IPM) 的新挑战。我们检查和讨论用于运输艺术品的材料以及防治和预防害虫的可能措施（塑料托盘或其他木材类型的使用）。此外，还描述了粉螟的生物学和生活史。
