Abstract

A new species, Anthrenus chikatunovi n. sp. from southern France is described and illustrated. Externally, the species closely resembles A. pimpinellae pimpinellae. The main features distinguishing the new species from A. p. pimpinellae, and other potential confusion species, are on the genitalia.
