Paratype examination of Anthrenus (Anthrenus) intermedius Kalík (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Megatominae), an unpublished taxon synonymized with Anthrenus (Anthrenus) warchalowskii Kadej, Háva & Kalík
Abstract : A paratype run of Anthrenus (Anthrenus) intermedius Kalík, unpublished, a species synonymised with A. warchalowskii, is held by The Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde, Stuttgart, Germany. The similarity of specimens in the paratype run was questioned, so all specimens were dissected to establish identity. Four species were found labelled as paratypes: A. bakaloudisi, A. delicatus, A. sexmaculatus, and A. warchalowskii. Images of the paratype aedeagi (and sternite IX where available) are presented alongside comparative material to facilitate identification.
