            <p>Diagnosis</p>
            <p> Holotype  Anthrenus (s. str.) crypticus (BL= 2.23 mm, BW= 1.54 mm) (Fig. 1A), with dark brown ocellus in centre of vertex, just below the level with top of eyes. Face covered in dark yellow and brown scales, the yellow scales mostly around the inner edges of the eyes, and the brown scales mostly on the vertex. Notch on the lower inner margin of the eye. Integument of the pronotum very dark brown, similar to colour on and around the small triangular scutellum and across the bases of the elytra. Posterior from scutellum, integument reddens slightly towards the elytral apices. Dorsal surface entirely covered in broad oval scales, each one of three colours: pale yellow, darker dirty coloured yellow, or very dark brown. The dark brown scales are concentrated mostly across the basal half of the elytra, and the yellow scales commoner across the apical halves of the elytra, especially along the elytral suture and around a elytral apices. Integument of ventrites (Fig. 2B) very dark brown and covered with pale but dirty brownish-coloured scales that become a shade darker towards the ventrite margins and across ventrite 5. Small patches of brown and dark brown scales on the anterior edge of the margins of ventrites 2-5. No such patch of scales at the margins of ventrite 1. Eleven-segmented antenna (Fig. 1C) entirely dark red. Well-defined, three segmented club (AL=156 µm, AW=111 µm). Tibiae and tarsi red, femora a shade darker with pale yellow scales on the anterior side. </p>

            <p> Holotype male (NHML). Biskra, Algeria (34.86N, 5.73E), donated to British Museum (Natural History) 1927, but collection date not recorded. Collector not recorded but held in G.C. Champion collection .  Paratype: one female, Biskra, Algeria (34.86N, 5.73E) .  Paratype female NHML (diagnosis based on balance of probability since both specimens were staged on the same pin and collected at place) . </p>
            <p>Diagnosis</p>
            <p> Holotype  Anthrenus (s. str.) fosteri (BL= 2.08 mm, BW= 1.41 mm) (Fig. 3A), with pale amber ocellus in centre of vertex, approximately level with top of eyes. Face covered in concolorous, broadly oval, pale-yellow scales. Notch on the lower inner margin of the eye. Integument of the pronotum very dark brown, similar to the colour on and around the small triangular scutellum. Posterior from scutellum, integument reddens becoming pale orange towards the elytral apices. Dorsal surface entirely covered in broad oval yellow scales, with small patches of orange scales and numerous patches of white scales. Sternites (Fig. 3B). Integument dark reddish brown and covered with cream scales. Anterior lateral margin of each sternite with patch of very pale-yellow scales, yellow scales more extensive across sternite V. Appendages. Antenna (AL=134 µm, AW=80 µm, Fig. 3C) eleven-segmented antenna entirely red with no colour variation among the antennomeres. Well-defined, three segmented club. Legs similarly red, with pale-yellow scales on face of each femur. </p>

                 , Senegal, no name 16/iii/1999, Yaguiné-Banda, Mali, associated with ootheca of  Hieroglyphus daganensis Krauss, 1877 . All specimens in NHML  . 
            </p>
            <p>Diagnosis</p>
            <p> Anthrenus (s. str.) senegalensis (Fig. 5A) has a single dark amber ocellus on the vertex, just below the level of top of eyes and a notch on the lower inner margin of the eye. Face covered in pale yellow scales, which in some specimens are a shade darker on the vertex. The pronotal and basal elytral integument is very dark brown. Away from the base and towards the elytral apices the integument becomes redder. Elytra are covered in dark and light brown scales. The scales on either side of the small, dark, triangular scutellum are pale brown. The scales behind and below the humerus are pale brown and pale brown scales continue from the humerus along the outer margin. At about midway, pale brown scales leave the margin and form a downward curved, narrow fascia that crosses the elytra just beyond halfway. The fasciae on each elytron meet at the elytral suture, with more pale brown scales forming a vertical line on either side of the suture that extends towards but does not reach the elytral apices. Just before the apices the pale brown scales sweep left and right along the elytra to form a sub-apical fascia. Four small spots consisting of white scales sit in the mid-fascia accentuating the downward curve of the fascia. There are a few white scales in the sub-apical fascia and at the base of the elytra. All other scales are a darker brown. The pronotum is covered in brown scales of varying hue, paler towards the lateral margins and darker on the pronotal disk, with two spots of dark brown on the posterior margin on either side of the scutellum. Ventrite (Fig. 5B) integument is dark red and covered in yellow-tinted scales on the disk, fading to a broad margin of yellow ochre scales. The scales on the outer, anterior corners of each sternite are marginally darker. </p>
            <p>The 11-segmented antenna (Fig. 5C) is entirely red, with little to no variation in hue among the various antennomeres. All components of the legs are similarly red. The anterio-ventral faces of the femora are covered in pale brown scales.</p>
