Abstract: Phradonoma hulai sp. nov. from Ethiopia is described, illustrated and compared with the species P. zavattari Háva, 2015 (Ethiopia) belonging to the “Phradonoma nobile species group”. The new species is characteristic by the structure of antennae, male genitalia and colour of the elytral setation. Keywords: taxonomy, new species, new records, Coleoptera, Dermestidae, Phradonoma, Ethiopia. Introduction The genus Phradonoma currently contains 46 species distributed in the Palaearctic and Afrotropical Regions. Only one species was introduced into the United States and Australia (Háva 2015, 2019). During the determination of some Dermestidae material deposited in the National Museum, Prague, the author found a new Phradonoma Jacquelin du Val, 1859 species from Ethiopia described below. Material and methods The size of the beetles or of their body parts can be useful in species recognition and thus, the following measurements were made: TL: total length - linear distance from anterior margin of pronotum to apex of elytra. EW: elytral width - maximum linear transverse distance. ISSN 1587-1908 (Print); ISSN 2062-9990 (Online)
