In this study, the fauna of Saudi Arabian Dermestinae (Coleoptera, Dermestidae) is summarised.

Dermestes (Dermestinus) undulatus Brahm, 1790 and Dermestes (Dermestes) haemorrhoidalis Küster, 1852 are newly recorded from Saudi Arabia. A list of Dermestinae species from the Arabian Peninsula is provided with their distributions.
