Abstract/Summary

A new species Anthrenus bakaloudisi sp. nov. is described from Greece. Images of external and internal features are illustrated. The aedeagus of A. bakaloudisi has slim parameres so is compared with species that also have slim parameres from middle and eastern Mediterranean and just into Asia: A. pfefferi, A. delicatus, and A. warchalowskii. The new species differs internally from A. pfefferi in subtle ways, but it is easy to distinguish between the species using external colour pattern. Anthrenus delicatus differs from A. bakaloudisi internally and ways of distinguishing between the two species externally are described. Anthrenus warchalowskii is only known from Iran and differs from A. bakaloudisi internally. No information could be found on the likely true range of A. bakaloudisi, so the species is currently only known from Macedonia, Greece in the region of Thessaloniki.
