Háva, J.: Notes on Dermestidae (Coleoptera) with new synonyms and description of three new species

species. According to the description Anthrenus funebris differs from A. verbasci only in the shape of scales (scales long and very narrow). Typical scales of Anthrenus verbasci are broad and short, but in the highly variable populations of this species, the shape of scales ranges from narrow to broad. Anthrenus funebris does not differ from A. verbasci morphologically; male genitalia are identical. So Anthrenus funebris is considered a junior synonym of A. verbasci. Trogoderma maestum BROUN, 1880 Trogoderma maestum BROUN, 1880: 241. Trogoderma sujfusum BROUN, 1886: 953, syn. n. Type material - Trogoderma maestum, holotype, female: " New Zealand, Broun Coll., Brit. Mus., 1922^182 / Paparoa " (BMNH); Trogoderma suffusion, holotype, female: " New Zealand, Broun Coll., Brit. Mus., 1922-482 / Howiek " (BMNH). Additional

f material studied -"New Zealand SD, Queen Charlotte Drive, Picton, 3. Jan. 1971, M. G. McPherson Igt.", J. HÁVA det. (3 males, 2 NZAC, 1 JHAC). Remarks - Study of the type material of Trogoderma sujfusum (a teneral specimen) and T. maestum reveals that these two species are identical. So Trogoderma suffusum is a junior synonym of Trogoderma maestum. Trogoderma serrigerum SHARP, 1877 (Fig. 3) Trogoderma serrigerum SHARP, 1877: 270. Trogoderma pictulum BROUN, 1911: 100, syn. n. Type material - Trogoderma serrigerum, holotype, female: "Riccarton N. Zd., sep.22.1873" (BMNH); Trogoderma pictulum, holotype, female: "Chatham Is., Broun Coll., Brit. Mus., 1922-482 /Pittgsland, I. Hall" (BMNH). Remarks - Study of the type material of Trogoderma serrigerum and 77. pictulum reveals that these two species are identical. So Trogoderma pictulum is a junior synonym of T. serrigerum. There are no illustrations in the original description. The antenna of female (Fig. 3) is illustrated here for the first time.
