Abstract
A new species, Anthrenus (Anthrenodes) bicolor Holloway (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae) is described from Jordan and compared with A. ineptus Háva & Tezcan, 2004, A. israelicus Háva, 2004, and A. jordanicus Pic, 1934, 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. Anthrenus bicolor represents only the second Anthrenodes species discovered from Jordan.
