Species

edit

According to World Dermestidae catalogue and other research, these species currently belong to subgenus Anthrenus, with several, mostly informal groups being recognized by researchers:[3][4]

Species group "crustaceus"

edit

Species group "flavipes"

edit

Species group "maculatus"

edit
