Abstract/Summary

A new species, Anthrenus (Florilinus) pintilioaiei Holloway and Herrmann (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae), is described from Romania and compared with all other species of European Florilinus Mulsant and Rey, 1868. Most European Florilinus species could be eliminated based solely on dorsal color pattern. Differentiation from A. caucasicus Reitter, A. museorum (Linnaeus), and A. olgae Kalík is established using genital structure, antennal structure, and color pattern. Images of habitus, ventrites, antenna, and genitalia are presented. Nine species of subgenus Florilinus are now recorded from Europe.
