Diagnosis: The maculation pattern of this species is variable, but this species can be distinguished from other Anthidium species by the following unique combination of characters: female, apical margin of clypeus coarsely serrate, nearly straight medially ( Fig. 23c View FIGURE 23 ), T6 with shallow median emargination on distal margin ( Fig. 23h View FIGURE 23 ); male, apical process of S8 rectangular, rounded apically ( Fig. 24h View FIGURE 24 ), T7 lateral lobe rounded outwardly, coming to roughly right-angular tip, without adjacent flanges ( Fig. 24e View FIGURE 24 ), S6 medially flat or rounded outward ( Fig. 24f View FIGURE 24 ).

Remarks: This species is very variable in color, and geographic forms have been recognized as subspecies, including two taxa described from China from Xizang ( himalayense) and Qinghai ( zaidamense). As with many other variable anthidiine species (see Kasparek, 2020), this species or species complex requires global revision based on study of both morphology and molecular diagnostic characters.
