Abstract

All the known genera and subgenera belonging to the family Dermestidae are keyed. The genus Trinoparvus gen. n. with two new species Trinoparvus laboriosus sp. n. and T. villosus sp. n. is described and illustrated. The tribe Ctesiini REES, 1943 is newly synonymized with the tribe Megatomini; the genus Ctesias STEPHENS, 1830 is newly divided into the following subgenera described here with designations of type species: Ctesias s. str., subgenus Tiresiomorpha (PIC, 1954) stat. n. with Ctesias (Tiresiomorpha) klapperichi (PIC, 1954) comb. n., subgenus Decemctesias subgen. n., subgenus Novemctesias subgen. n.. The genus Caccoleptus SHARP, 1902 is newly divided into the following subgenera described here with designations of type species: Caccoleptus s. str., subgenus Bicaccoleptus subgen. n., subgenus Pecticaccoleptus subgen. n.. The
subgenus Pseudomesalia GANGLBAUER in BODEMEYER, 1900 of the genus Globicornis LATREILLE, 1829 is a resurrected subgenus from synonymy and it is compared with subgenus Dearthrus LE CONTE, 1861. The species Novelsis sabulorum BEAL, 1984 is newly transferred to the genus Sefrania as Sefrania sabulorum (BEAL, 1984) comb. n.. The following new synonymy is proposed: Dermestes (D.) wittei KALÍK, 1955 (= D. (D.) tanzanianus HÁVA, 2000 syn. n.). Extending the known geographic distribution, new records of the following species are published: Dermestes (Dermestes) leechi KALÍK, 1952 (Mali); D. (D.) semistriatus BOHEMANN, 1851 (Benin); D. (Dermestinus) maculatus DEGEER, 1774 (Vietnam); Anthrenus (Anthrenodes) fernandezi HÁVA, 2003 (Cameroon); A. (A.) ineptus HÁVA et TEZCAN, 2004 (Iran); A. (Anthrenus) crustaceus REITTER, 1881 (Eritrea); A. (Nathrenus) natalensis HÁVA, 2004 (Cape province); Attagenus assuanensis (PIC, 1899) (Algeria); A. brunneus FALDERMANN, 1835 (Iran); A. endroedyi HÁVA, 2003 (Congo); A. fasciatus (THUNBERG, 1795) (Benin, Pakistan); A. pellio (LINNAEUS, 1758) (Argentina); A. unicolor japonicus REITTER, 1877 (Netherland); A. unicolor unicolor BRAHM, 1791 (Indonesia: Sumatra); Ctesias (Tiresiomorpha) klapperichi (PIC, 1954) (China: Hubei prov.); Evorinea iota (ARROW, 1915) (Vietnam); Mariouta letourneuxi PIC, 1898 (Tunisia); Orphinus (Orphinus) apicalis PIC, 1918 (Indonesia: Sumatra); O. (O.) aethiops ARROW, 1915 (Indonesia: Java); Phradonoma haemorrhoum (GERSTAECKER, 1871) (Congo); Reesa vespulae (MILLIRON, 1939) (Romania); Trogoderma inclusum LE CONTE, 1854 (Tunisia); Turcicornis kopeckyi HÁVA, 2000 (Turkey). The larval hastisetae and antenna of Orphinus (O.) aethiops ARROW, 1915 are illustrated for the first time.
