Summary: | Anthrenus dorsatus
Mulsant & Rey, 1868 has been recorded from North Africa, Malta, and Iberia. During a recent visit to Thessaloniki, Greece, several
Anthrenus
species were collected, including
A. dorsatus
. The previously known distribution of
A. dorsatus
suggested that this species was restricted to the western Mediterranean basin, possibly with a coastal bias. This record extends the known range of
A. dorsatus
farther east and providing more evidence of range expansion in the pimpinellae species group across Europe, possibly driven by global climate change. |
