Kadej, Marcin & Háva, Jiří, 2013, The genus Neoanthrenus Armstrong, 1941 (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Anthrenini): A new synonym of Anthrenus Geoffroy, 1762, Zootaxa 3646 (1), pp. 87-92 : 91-92

Anthrenus (Nathrenus) svatopluki nom. n.

= Neoanthrenus bilyi Háva, 2003b: 48 .

= Anthrenus bilyi (Háva), 2003b not Háva, 2000:168.

Type depository: WAMP.

Material examined: 4 paratypes: “W Australia, Lake Cronin, 26.x.2001, S. Bílý lgt.”, (JHAC).

Distribution: Australia: Western Australia.

Remarks: The newly transferred species is a secondary homonym of A. bilyi Háva, 2000 , and therefore a replacement name A. svatopluki is proposed. The new name is dedicated to Svatopluk Bílý (National Museum, Prague) [see Háva 2003b].
