Hi, I am not aware of any new species. As far as i know the
carpet beetle itself do not bite, sting, carry disease, or eat wood.
Carpet beetle larvae feed on many types of natural fibers such as wool and wool felt, piano felt, fur, feathers, or hair can be attacked. Although there was one case of dermatitis occurred in a man over a 5-year period due to hypersensitivity to an infestation in his bedroom carpet. (http://www.critterridders.com/beetles.htm)
I hope this helps. Take care.
