Anthrenus pimpinellae is a species group of beetle found natively in Europe, northern Africa, Asia and portions of the Oriental region; it has also been introduced to parts of North America.[1] Former studies on Nearctic and Palearctic Anthrenus, authors distinguished three informal groups, lepidus, pimpinellae and schropuslariae holding different beetle taxa. This was made on the base of the dorsal patterns.[2]
