TBL 2.5 mm. E. Regina legit.

Why Attagenus unicolor? It looks rather like female of Attagenus smirnovi.

Thank you, Lech. I agree with you about the species. I thought it was a male due to the overall dimensions. How to distinguish females from males in this species?

Males in both A. smirnovi and A. unicolor have elongate last segment of antennal club. See photos on my web page:

A. smirnovi, left male, right femle - http://www.colpolon.biol.uni.wroc.pl/at ... irnovi.htm

A. unicolor, male - http://www.colpolon.biol.uni.wroc.pl/at ... icolor.htm

Unfortunately, I havn't photo of female of A. unicolor but it is available here: http://www.kerbtier.de/cgi-bin/deFSearc ... ermestidae
