03906926FFFDFFBAFF6FF8F779E11E8C.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. – Because of the morphological characters the new species belongs to the subgenus Nathrenus Casey, 1900, and according to the unicolorous milky scales on dorsal and ventral surfaces it look extremely similar to A. (N.) molitor Aubé, 1850 and Reviewer: A. (N.) paramolitor Herrmann & Háva, 2021, but differs from them by the structure of the antenna and male genitalia, from the similar species A. (N.) bulirschi Háva, 2000 and A. (N.) obenbergeri Háva & Herrmann, 2021, it differs by the structure of the male genitalia.	en	Háva, Jiří (2024): A new Anthrenus Geoffroy, 1762 Dermestidae: Megatominae: Anthrenini) species from Iran (Coleoptera:.
