Authors
All specimens labelled Anthrenus senegalensis were borrowed from the Natural History Museum, London. A. senegalensis is a poorly known species, so the aim is to provide a good description of the species associated with habitus and genitalia images. Three species were noted in the sample: A. senegalensis, A. crypticus sp. nov., and A. fosteri sp. nov.. A. crypticus and A. fosteri are described along with A. senegalensis, the most likely confusion species. Habitus and genitalia images of all three species are provided.
