Abstract The red-legged ham beetle, Necrobia rufipes DeGeer (Coleoptera: Cleridae), is an important world-wide insect pest of stored-products of animal origin, but it can also infest a wider range of commodities. A review detailing the biology of N. rufipes including the morphology, development and reproduction of this pest is presented. This review also illustrates various aspects of its integrated control and summarizes the current knowledge for N. rufipes management, given that there were additional data that have been produced towards this direction during the last decade. Furthermore, this paper identifies potential areas of further research on N. rufipes for practical implementation.

红腿火腿甲虫 Necrobia rufipes DeGeer（鞘翅目：Cleridae）的生物学和管理

摘要 红腿火腿甲虫Necrobia rufipes DeGeer（鞘翅目：Cleridae）是世界范围内重要的动物源性贮藏害虫，但它也可以侵染更广泛的商品。介绍了详细介绍 N. rufipes 生物学的综述，包括该害虫的形态、发育和繁殖。考虑到在过去十年中朝着这个方向产生了额外的数据，本综述还说明了其综合控制的各个方面，并总结了当前的红毛猪笼草管理知识。此外，本文还确定了对 N. rufipes 进行实际实施的进一步研究的潜在领域。
