Abstract
The Dermestidae (Coleoptera) contain a large number of poorly described species. Many of these descriptions are from the 18th through to the late 20th century, predating the advent of digital imagery. It is important for poorly described species to be revisited to facilitate taxonomic and systematic discovery. Telopes undatus (Fabricius, 1787) is one such species. A number of T. undatus were collected from Málaga (Spain), offering the opportunity to describe the species in greater detail. Images of the habitus (dorsal and ventral), antenna, aedeagus, sternite IX, male tergites IX and X, and sclerites in the bursa copulatrix are presented. The first record of Attagenus balearicus Holloway & Herrmann, 2026 from mainland Spain is also presented.
