Trogoderma anthrenoides (Sharp, 1902) ( Fig. 1 )

Material studied: Barcelona, on window in house, 08-2011, 1 male, 1 female (J. MAŠek leg.; J. Háva det. et coll.)

Distribution: Species known from England (intr.); Aruba; Barbados; Colombia; Costa Rica; Cuba; Guatemala; Haiti; Honduras; Nicaragua; Panama; Peru; Puerto Rico; Trinidad; Venezuela; Mexico; Hawaiian Is.; USA: Leeward Is., Texas, Virgin Is.; China (intr.); Japan (intr.); Midway (intr.); New Zealand (intr.); Northern Marianas Is.

Remarks: The mentioned specimens were collected together with Anthrenus (Nathrenus) verbasci (Linnaeus, 1767). The species Trogoderma anthrenoides (Sharp, 1902) looks very similar to Trogoderma inclusum LeConte, 1854 (Fig. 2) andTrogoderma versicolor (Creutzer, 1799) (Fig. 3), but differs from them in the colour patterns on elytra and structure of antennae and male genitalia.
