The species Anthrenus sogdianus can often be mistaken for Anthrenus dsungaricus due to subtle visual differences, but it is distinguishable by the longitudinal stripe of light scales on the elytral disc. Both species are also related to Anthrenus beali, however the elytral background of this species is predominantly composed from brown scales (as opposed to yellow).[6]
