  • Abstract:
    Many species of Dermestidae, especially those discovered in the 18th and 19th centuries, have brief descriptions that are inadequate for modern taxonomic studies because many more species are now known. In the current study, the description of Anthrenus (Florilinus) sordidulus is extended to include images of habitus, antennae, genitalia.
