Pintilioaie, A.-M., Herrmann, A. and Holloway, G. (2025) The first European record of Anthrenus (Anthrenus) corona (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae) and a comparison with Anthrenus isabellinus. Munis Entomology & Zoology, 20 (2). pp. 3058-3064. ISSN ISSN 1306-3022

Abstract/Summary

Only one specimen of Anthrenus (Anthrenus) corona has been found and described to date, the holotype male from Turkey. Here we report on the discovery of two specimens of A. corona, a male and a female from Romania. Not only does this discovery allow a consideration of female A. corona, but it also extends the confirmed distribution of A. corona into Europe. Images of habiti, male genitalia and antenna are presented. Anthrenus corona is large and is therefore compared with A. isabellinus, which also occurs in Romania and can also be relatively large.
