Introduction
The family Dermestidae is one of the commonly known beetle families and it currently includes about 1300 species or subspecies worldwide (Háva 2003, 2006). Dermestidae from Bulgaria were treated by Angelov (1988) and Mroczkowski (1965) and listed in dermestid catalogues by Mroczkowski (1968) and Háva (2003). During the determination of some material deposited in the National Museum, Prague, Czech Repuiblic, I found one new species and a new faunistic record of another one.

Material and methods
The shades of colours used in the descriptions are classified according to Paclt (1958), integumental structures are named according to Harris (1979). Locality labels of the mentioned material are cited in the original version. Separate labels are indicated by slashes ( \ ). Remarks of the author are found in brackets [ ].
The size of the beetles or of their body parts can be useful in the species recognition and thus the following measurements were made: total length (TL) - linear distance from anterior margin of pronotum to apex of elytra.
pronotal length (PL) - maximum length measured from anterior margin to posterior margin.
pronotal width (PW) - maximum linear transverse distance. elytral length (EL) - linear distance from shoulder to apex of elytron. elytral width (EW) - maximum linear transverse distance.
The following acronyms refer to the collections, in which the examined material is deposited: NMPC = National Museum, Prague, Czech Republic (V. Ovihla); JHAC = author´s collection.
Taxonomy
Anthrenus (Florilinus) kourili sp. n.
Type material. Holotype (male): “Bulgaria, B. Koufil [lgt.]” \ “Krupnik, Kresn. defile” \ “Anthrenus museorum B. Koufil det.“ \ “6447“ \ “coll. Koufil P5/46/62“. Paratypes: (11 males, 8 females): the same data as holotype; (1 male): “Bulgaria, B. Koufil [lgt.]” \ “Selo Vlachl, Pyrin planina” \ “Anthrenus museorum B. Koufil det.“ \ “6447“ \ “coll. Koufil P5/46/62“. Holotype and 15 paratypes deposited in NMPC, 4 paratypes (2 males, 2 females) in JHAC. Specimens of the presently described species are provided with a red, printed label with text as follows: „HOLOTYPE [or PARATYPE, respectively] Anthrenus (Florilinus) kourili sp.n. Jifí Háva det. 2005”.
Description of holotype. Male body measurements (mm): TL 2.25 PL 0.6 PW 1.07 EL 1.67 EW 1.45.; body oval, black. Dorsal surfaces covered by brown and yellow scales. Head covered by intermixed brown and yellow scales. Labrum emarginate. Lacinia without apex, moderately sclerotized with a medially directed small spine. Frontal median ocellus present. Antennae 8-segmented, antennal segments I-VI brown, VII-VIII black; club 2-segmented, compact (Fig. 1). Eye with complete median margin. Pronotum covered by intermixed brown and yellow scales. Each elytron covered by brown scales, with three illdefined transverse bands covered by intermixed brown and yellow scales; one band on the humeral area, the second one in the middlength and third one before apex of elytra. Scales of elytral disc triangular. Ventral surfaces covered by yellow scales; particular abdominal sternites not bearing small spots of scales at antero-lateral margins. Visible abdominal sternites I-IV without spots in the middle and covered with yellow scales. Prosternum with only yellow scales. Metasternum with yellow scales, without a

large patch at lateral margins. Legs brown, with yellow scales and yellow microsetae. Male genitalia: Fig. 3.
Female. Dorsal and ventral surfaces covered by only yellow scales. Shape of antenna shows sexual dimorphism (Fig. 2).
Variability. Body measurements (mm): TL 2.03-2.3 PL 0.57-0.65 PW 1.0-1.13 EL 1.62-1.85 EW 1.35-1.55.
Differential diagnosis. The new species is habitualy very similar to A. (F.) sveci Háva 2004 and A. (F.) flavidulus Solsky, 1876, but differs from them by the following characters:
1(2) antennal segments VII-VIII black; lacinia without apex moderately sclerotized with a medially directed small spine (Bulgaria)................A. (F.) kourili sp. n.
2(1)    antennae entirely brown
3(4) lacinia with apex moderately sclerotized with a medially directed spine; spine variable in size; labrum emarginate; scales on elytra brown, bands covered with yellow scales or variable elytra covered only with yellow scales (females); ventral surface covered with yellow scales; length 1.6-2.2 mm (Greece) ……………….… ..... ………………… ......A. (F.) sveci Háva, 2004
4(3) lacinia without apex moderately sclerotized with a medially directed small spine; spine not very variable in size; scales on elytra brown, bands on elytra covered with greyish-yellow scales or variable elytra covered only with greyish-yellow scales (females); ventral surface covered with white scales; length 1.2-3.4 mm (Poland (introduced), Turkey, Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kirghizistan, Tadzhikistan, N China) ………………… ...................................... ….….. A. (F.) flavidus Solsky, 1876
Name derivation. Patronymic, in memory of the collector of the new species Bohumil Koufil (1909-1958).

Symposium Internationale Entomo=
faunisticum Europae Centralis XX
Cluj, 26 - 30. Mai 2007
XX. SIEEC - Mednarodni simpozij o entomofavnistiki srednje Evrope
V Cluju (Kluau), Romunija, bo prihodnje leto med 26. in 30. majem potekal ae 20. simpozij o entomofavnistiki srednje Evrope.
Prva dva dneva bosta posveoena predavanjem in ogledom posterjev na univerzi Babes-Bolyai v Cluju, naslednje tri dneve pa bodo udeleaenci prebili v gorovju Apuseni in biolooki postaji v Rimeteji. To obmooje je znano po svoji bogati favni in flori.
Posebna pozornost bo posveoena moderni taksonomiji, favnistiki in posebej spremembam razoirjenosti posameznih vrst, nevarnosti oirjenja nekaterih vektorjev bolezenskih povzrooiteljev v srednji Evropi, filogeniji auaelk in varovanju "vrooih took" in podrooij z visoko biotsko pestrostjo.
