Anthrenus is a subgenus of the genus Anthrenus of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles. [1]

Contents

Subgenus is distinguished by antennae with 11 segments. Occasionally, male specimen appear with 10 antennae segments, having one less "filler" segment in the middle. Inner edge of eye is indented, as opposed to subgenus Nathrenus. [2]

Species

These species currently belong to the subgenus Anthrenus, with several mostly informal species groups recognized by researchers. The further division into groups mostly follows the definitions provided in the World Catalogue of Dermestidae by Jirí Háva: [3] [4]

Species group "crustaceus"

Species group "flavipes"

Species group "maculatus"

Species group "pimpinellae"

Species belonging to Anthrenus pimpinellae complex could be hard to distinguish in field conditions due to often only minor differences in visual appearance between most species
