SHORT DESCRIPTION: A large Anthidium species (12-19 mm) that resembles A. manicatum (Linnaeus, 1758) . Both the males and the females have a characteristic boomerang-shaped yellow mark on their thorax. Only A. manicatum sometimes also possesses this trait. Males have spines on the sides of tergites 5 and 6 and three thorns on tergite 7.
DISTRIBUTION IN EUROPE: This species has a very wide distribution, reaching from North Africa, over Southern Europe to India, China and Russia. It is common in Southern Europe and is probably expanding its range because of global warming. It occurs northwards to France and Germany ( SCHEUCHL & WILLNER, 2016). There are no records from the Netherlands ( REEMER 2018, www.waarneming.nl), the United Kingdom ( ELSE & EDWARDS, 2018) or the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ( HERRERA MESÍAS & WEIGAND, 2021).
