Anthrenus corona Holloway, 2021 (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae) is a scarce species known from Eastern Europe and parts of the Middle East. During an examination of some unidentified Anthrenus Geoffroy, 1762 held by the Naturalis Biodiversity Centre, Leiden, The Netherlands, two very large female specimens from Spain were noticed. The specimens were dissected. Images of habitus, antenna, and the sclerites within the bursa were imaged and compared with a female A. corona from Romania. The conclusion was that the Spanish specimens were also A. corona. A key to the Anthrenus pimpinellae (Fabricius, 1775) group species from Western Europe incorporating A. corona is presented. |
