Remarks.

This species was recorded in Basilicata region from the Pollino National Park ( Angelini 1986) only; the above specimen comes from a nature reserve, from which a sole congeneric species, Anthrenus (Nathrenus) verbasci , was known so far ( Angelini 1996a, 1998, both as Anthrenus verbasci ).

Anthrenus signatus ab. bielawskii Mroczkowski, 1958 from Bulgaria ( Mroczkowski 1958: 6, 1968: 145) was recently ignored ( Háva 2007, 2008, 2011a), since according to the ICZN (1999, art. 45.5 and 45.6.2), it is an infrasubspecific and unavailable name.
