( Figs 30 View FIGURE 30 , a–h, holotype; Figs 31 View FIGURE 31 , a–h, paratype)

Anthophora (Paramegilla) qinghaiense [sic] Wu, 2000: ♂, ♀.

Holotype: [♂], Âẚ, ẘë, 2340–2640 ȓƃ [Qinghai, Guide County, 2340–2640 m, 36º06'N 101º31'E] // 1957. VI.29, īåx: 张ỡť [29.VI.1957, leg.

Paratype: [♀], Âẚ, ẘë, 2340–2640 ȓƃ [Qinghai, Guide County, 2340–2640 m, 36º06'N 101º31'E] // 1957.VI.29 GoogleMaps , īåx: 张ỡť [29.VI.1957, leg.

P. Rasmont, 2019.

Current status: Anthophora (Paramegilla) qinghaiensis Wu, 2000 View in CoL .

Remark: In 2019, Rasmont labeled the paratype, but after careful examination and comparisons, he suspected the paratype ♀ should belong to another subgenus (likely Lophanthophora) and not Paramegilla , and is not conspecific with A. qinghaiensis . The suffix of the specific name should be - ensis to match the genus Anthophora .

Distribution: China (Qinghai).
