Redescription of Anthrenus (Florilinus) flavidus and Anthrenus (Florilinus) sveci (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae)

Abstract

Descriptions of many Dermestidae species are brief or lack images facilitating their identification or differentiation for the purpose of taxonomy. In the current study, two Anthrenus (Florilinus) species—A. (F.) sveci Háva, 2004 and A. (F.) flavidus Solsky, 1876—are considered, both from the Eastern Mediterranean region and both coated in pale scales. The external and internal features of both species are illustrated.
