Attagenus incognitus sp. n. (Figs 10-13) Type material - Holotype (male): "Spain, Madrid, I .vii. 1973, M. Tóth Igt." Paratypes, Nos 1-22: same data as holotype; Nos 23-26: Spain, Villovieco/ Palencia, Camino de Santiago, 13.vii. 1999, P. Bahillo Igt. Holotype and paratypes Nos 1 -16 are deposited in HNHM, Nos 17-22 in JHAC, Nos 23-26 in AHCD. Description - Male. Body length 4.5 mm, maximum width 2.0 mm; cuticle black-brown on dorsal surfaces, black on ventral surfaces; generally large and elongate. Head finely punctate with long black pubescence. Palpi entirely brown; pubescence on mentum denser. Ocellus on front pres­ent. Antennae 11-segmented, antennái club 3-segmented (Fig. 10), dark brown. Pronotum finely punctate as head, with long black pubescence on disc and long white pubescence in posterior angles. Scutellum triangular, finely punctate as pronotum, with short brown pubescence.

Female body length 4.5 mm, maximum width 2.1 mm; similar to male but differs in the form of antennae (Fig. 11). Variability - Length of males 4.5-4.8 mm, width 2.0-2.4 mm; length of females 4.5^4.9 mm, width 2.1-2.5 mm. Etymology - Latin incognitus (= unknown). Remarks - Attagenus incognitus sp. n. is very similar to A. pantherinus (AHRENS, 1814). Differential diagnosis of these two species is in the following key: 1(2) Antennae 11-segmented in both sexes; antennái club 3-segmented, dark brown (Figs 10-11); pronotum with black and white pubescence; each elytron with 3 orange-red bands covered by white pubescence (Fig. 13); male genitalia as in Fig. 12; Spain A. incognitus sp. n. 2(1) Antennae 11-segmented in both sexes; antennái club 3-segmented, black (Figs 14-15); pronotum with intermixed black, white and yellow pubes­cence; each elytron with 4 bands and several spots with white and yellow pu­bescence; Europe, Turkey, Caucasus A. pantherinus (AHRENS, 1814) Attagenus endroedyi sp. n. (Figs 16-19) Type material- Holotype (male): "Ghana, Ashanti region, Kumasi, Nhiasu, 320 m, N 6.43 W 1.36, Dr. S. Endrődy-Younga Igt."; "Nr. 294, beaten, 13.i. 1968". Paratypes (4 males, 1 female): same data as holotype; (2 males): "Ghana, Ashanti Kwadaso, 320 m, N 6.42 W 1.39"; "flowering Citrus,
