Abstract	A new dermestid species, Anthrenus (Anthrenus) buonpanei sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae) is described from Italy and compared with Anthrenus (Anthrenus) corona Holloway, 2021 from Spain and Eastern Europe. For the new species, images of male habitus (dorsal and ventral), antenna, aedeagus and sternite IX are presented. Images of the female sclerites in the bursa copulatrix are also shown. The possible distributions of A. buonpanei and A. corona are discussed. No evidence could be found suggesting Spanish A. corona differ from Eastern European A. corona.
