Abstract
A new species, Anthrenus (Anthrenops) trilineatus Holloway & Herrmann (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae) is described from Afghanistan and compared with A. amoenulus Reitter, 1896, A. coloratus Reitter, 1881, and A. zebra Reitter, 1889, the most likely confounding species from the region. Differentiation is performed using habitus coloration, antennal and genital structure. Images of habitus, ventrites, antenna, and male and female genital structures are presented. Three species of subgenus Anthrenops are now recorded from Afghanistan.
