Abstract

A new species, Anthaxia (Anthaxia) amandae (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Buprestinae), from Mallorca, Spain is described. Anthaxia amandae belongs to the A. dimidiata species group and externally very closely resembles A. dimidiata (Thunberg). External and internal features are presented enabling the two species to be differentiated from each other.
