INTRODUCTION During the determination of material coming from the following collections, I found eight new species of the family Dermestidae and several other species representing new country records. This paper is dedicated to the well-known entomologist and my friend, the late Dr. SEBASTIAN ENDRŐDY-YOUNGA (1934-1999) who collected an important part of the material investigated between 1967 and 1970 in Ghana.
