Anthrenus Pimpinellae Complex
''Anthrenus pimpinellae'' complex is a group of closely related species from subgenus ''Anthrenus (subgenus), Anthrenus''. Most species that currently belong to the group were previously assigned as subspecies of ''Anthrenus pimpinellae''. Species According to various sources, such as World Dermestidae catalogue and new research, these species currently belong to the group: *''Anthrenus almatyensis'' (Háva, 2018) – Kazakhstan *''Anthrenus amandae'' (Holloway, 2019) – Spain (Mallorca) *''Anthrenus angustefasciatus'' (Ganglbauer, 1904) – Europe (Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland); Turkey; Algeria; Morocco; Tunisia *''Anthrenus corona'' (Holloway, 2021) – Armenia; Austria; Bosnia; Bulgaria; Croatia; Georgia; Greece; Hungary; Italy; Macedonia; Montenegro; Portugal; Romania; Serbia; Sicily; Spain; Turkey; Iran; Jordan; Syria *''Anthrenus delicatus'' (Kiesenwetter, ...

Heinrich Carl Küster
Heinrich Carl Küster (14 February 1807 – April 1876) was a German malacologist and entomologist. From 1836, he worked as an instructor at a trade school (''Gewerbschule'') in Erlangen. He conducted scientific excursions in Sardinia (1831) as well as in Dalmatia and Montenegro (1840–41). biographical information He was the originator of "''Die Käfer Europas, nach der Natur beschrieben''" (Beetles of Europe, described from nature), a multi-volume series (1844-1912) that was continued by Ernst Gustav Kraatz and Friedrich Julius Schilsky. Also, he provided drawings for Carl Wilhelm Hahn's ornithological work, "''Voegel, aus Asien, Africa, America, und Neuholland, in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Besch ...

Dermestidae
Dermestidae are a family of Coleoptera that are commonly referred to as skin beetles or carpet beetles. Other common names include larder beetles, hide or leather beetles, and khapra beetles. There are over 1,800 species described. Dermestids have a variety of habits; most genera are scavengers that feed on dry animal or plant material, such as skin or pollen, animal hair, feathers, dead insects and natural fibers. Members of '' Dermestes'' are found in animal carcasses, while others may be found in mammal, bird, bee, or wasp nests. '' Thaumaglossa'' only lives in the egg cases of mantids, while '' Trogoderma'' species are pests of grain. These beetles are significant in forensic entomology. Some species are associated with decaying carcasses, which may help with criminal investigations. Some species are pests ( urban entomology) and can cause extensive damage to natural fibers in homes and places of business. They are used in taxidermy and by natural history museums to clean ...

Beetles Of Europe
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Holometabola. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described arthropods and 25% of all known animal species; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. However, the number of beetle species is challenged by the number of species in dipterans (flies) and hymenopterans (wasps). Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs) eat a ...
