摘要

A new species, Anthrenus (Anthrenodes) xizangensis Zhou, Háva & Da, sp. nov., is described based on a series of specimens recently collected in Lhasa, Xizang, China. The new species is illustrated and compared with its morphological similar species: A. himalayensis Háva, Wachkoo & Maqbool, 2019, A. katrinkrauseae Háva, 2018, and A. occultus Háva, 2006. It differs in the scale coloration and pattern, as well as in the antennae and male genitalia. A comparative diagnosis and a distribution map of known similar Anthrenus species are provided.
