Holloway, G. J. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0495-0313 (2024) A review of the Palaearctic Anthrenus pimpinellae (Fabricius, 1775) complex species in Spain (Coleoptera, Dermestidae, Megatominae). Arquivos Entomolóxicos, 30. pp. 29-36. ISSN 1021-3589

Abstract/Summary

This review examines the Anthrenus pimpinellae (Fabricius, 1775) complex species (Coleoptera, Dermestidae, Megatominae) in Spain, from where seven species and one subspecies of this complex are currently listed. Further taxonomic research on this group leads to the removal of three species and one subspecies from the Spanish list, a modification of the taxonomy for one species, and the addition of one new species. As a result, there is strong evidence for the presence of five A. pimpinellae complex species in Spain. Additionally, the evidence supporting A. valenzuelai Holloway & Herrmann, 2024 is analysed, along with methods to distinguish it from A. isabellinus Küster, 1848.
