Abstract/Summary

The descriptions of many Dermestidae species are brief, often inadequate for modern day taxonomic purposes, especially for species described in the 18th and 19th centuries. Anthrenus coloratus is such a species. Anthrenus coloratus from Italy is described in detail. Images of external (habitus, ventrites, antennae) and internal (aedeagus, male sternite IX, female sternite VIII, female tergite VIII, bursal copulatrix sclerites) characters are provided. Even though A. coloratus is the type species for the subgenus Anthrenops, images of most of these structures are published for the first time.
