Holloway, G. J. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0495-0313 and Herrmann, A. (2024) Anthrenus (Anthrenus) muehlei, a new species (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae) from Iran. Insecta Mundi. 1035. ISSN 1942-1354 (pp. 1-6)

Abstract/Summary

A new species, Anthrenus muehlei Holloway and Herrmann (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae), from Iran is described. Images of internal and external features are presented. Only female specimens were found and described, but the bursa copulatrix contains obvious sclerites enabling easy differentiation from all other known species from the Palaearctic A. pimpinellae complex. The possible function and taxonomic implication of the sclerites is mentioned.
