Abstract
A new species, Attagenus mahieae sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Attageninae) is described from Málaga and Mallorca, Spain, and compared principally with A. montisionensis Holloway & González-Estévez, 2026, but also with A. balearicus Holloway & Herrmann, 2026 and A. trifasciatus (Fabricius, 1787). For the new species, images of the habitus (head, dorsal and ventral), antenna, aedeagus, and male sternite IX are provided. Attagenus mahieae sp. nov. differs from all species examined in a variety of ways.
