During a survey of unidentified specimens in the Naturalis Biodiversity Centre, Leiden, The Netherlands, a
single specimen from central Spain belonging to the Palaearctic Anthrenus (A.) pimpinellae (Fabricius, 1775) group was
noted that differed sufficiently from A. (A.) isabellinus Küster, 1848 to warrant further investigation. On dissection, it
was concluded that the specimen was A. (A.) chikatunovi Holloway, 2020. Images of habitus, ventrites, antennae,
aedeagus and sternite IX of A. (A.) chikatunovi are presented to confirm identification. The record represents the first
into Spain away from the Pyrenees, extending the known distribution of the species.
