Natura Somogyiensis 27 51-54 Kaposvár, 2015 A new Attagenus species from Greece - Seri fos Island (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Attageninae) Mi Hava Department of Forest Protection and Entomology, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences, Kamycká 1176, CZ-165 21, Prague 6 - Suchdol, Czech Republic, e-mail: jh.dermestidae@volny.cz Hava, J.: A new Attagenus species from Greece - Serifos Island (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Attageninae. Abstract: Attagenus ares sp. nov. from Greece, Serifos Island is described, illustrated and compared with very similar species Attagenus kephallenicus Háva & Kálik, 2006, new species differs by the small body form, structure of antennae, genitalia, radial cell on wing and colour elytral patterns. Keywords: taxonomy, new species, Coleoptera, Dermestidae, Megatominae, Attagenus, Greece, Serifos Island. Introduction The family Dermestidae currently consists of 62 genera, containing ca. 1500 species worldwide (Háva 2015). Some of them have been recognised as pests of different goods and store products. They occur in various habitats, and can be found in synanthropic (in flats, houses, storage products) and natural character (e.g. on flowers, under barks, inside of hollows, in nests of birds or mammals, around spider webs) (Háva 2014). The new species described here is from Greece, Serifos Island. It is suprising that such a con- spicious species remained unknown for so long, despite the fact that the fauna of the Balkans has always been extensively studied (ec. Mroczkowski 1965, Kalík 2006, Háva & Kalík 2006). Material and methods The following measurements were made: total length (TL) - linear distance from anterior margin of pronotum to apex of elytra, pronotal length (PL) - maximum length measured from anterior margin to posterior margin, pronotal width (PW) - maximum linear transverse distance, elytral length (EL) - linear distance from shoulder to apex of elytron, elytral width (EW) - maximum linear transverse distance.
