Holloway, G. J. and Herrmann, A. (2024) New synonym of Anthrenus flavidulus Reitter (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae) from Iran. Israel Journal of Entomology, 53. pp. 123-130. ISSN 2224-6304

Abstract/Summary

The species Anthrenus flavidulus Reitter, 1889 is redescribed and A. farsicus Kadej & Háva, 2011, is synonymised under the former, based on a thorough comparison of the colour patterns and structures of the antennae, aedeagi and sternites IX of the two species. Thus, the number of valid species belonging to the Palaearctic Anthrenus pimpinellae complex has been reduced to 26
