Nathrenus is a subgenus of the genus Anthrenus of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles.[1] The most well-known species from the subgenus, varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci), is distributed in most parts of the world, whereas the vast majority of other species are only present in regions of Africa and Asia.
Key characters
[edit]Subgenus is distinguished by antennae with 11 segments. Occasionally, male specimen appear with 10 antennae segments, having one less "filler" segment in the middle. Inner edge of eye doesn't have indentation, as opposed to subgenus Anthrenus.[2]

Synonymization of Neoanthrenus
[edit]In 2013, researchers reclassified the species of the endemic Australian genus Neoanthrenus, placing them under the subgenus Nathrenus (as a group of species "ocellifer").[5] However, recent research removes the species from genus Anthrenus due to significant genetic and morphological differences.[6]
Species considered to be part of species group "ocellifer":[3]
