Abstract

Two new species, Attagenus balearicus Holloway and Herrmann, and Attagenus vitalii Holloway and Herrmann (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Attageninae) are described from Ibiza (Spain) and France, re-spectively, and compared with A. trifasciatus (Fabricius, 1787). Diferentiation is based on male and female genital structure and associated characters as well as external features such as antennal structure and habitus coloration. Images of habitus, ventrites, antenna, and male and female genital structures are presented. Te new species described are more examples of edge of range species in Dermestidae. Attagenus balearicus was collected from the Balearics and might represent another island endemic along with other recently described species from the region.
