Current status: Anthophora ( Anthomegilla) wuae Brooks, 1988 View in CoL .

Remark: Anthophora wuae Brooks,1988 is a nomen novum pro Anthophora sinensis ( Wu, 1982) nec Clisodon sinensis Wu,1982 (= Anthophora sinensis (Wu)) . As first revisor, Brooks conserved the name Anthophora ( Clisodon) sinensis (Wu) and proposed the name Anthophora ( Anthomegilla) wuae Brooks for the other taxon.

The subgenus of this taxon was not designated by Wu (1982: 412) and the original species identification labels were all lost. Wu (2000) added the identification labels with the subgeneric status proposed by Brooks (1988). Two A. xizangensis Wu paratype specimens ( 1♀ (IOZ(E)205485), Xizang, Pulan County, Baga, 4700 m, 18.VII.1976, leg. Fu-Sheng Huang and 1♀ (IOZ(E)205486), Xizang, Rutog County, Rebangzhabu, 4700 m, 26.VII.1976, leg. Fu-Sheng Huang) hold the identification label Anthophora xizangensis det. by P. Rasmont as paratypes of Anthophora xizangensis , but they are paratypes of Anthophora ( Anthomegilla) wuae Brooks, 1988 . One paratype ( 1♂ (IOZ(E)210503), Xinjiang, Baicheng County, Aqikesu, 2400 m, 21.V.1978, leg. Ying-Hen Han) holds the identification label Anthophora wuae det. P. Rasmont as paratype of Anthophora wuae , but it is actually Anthophora arctica Morawitz, 1883 .

Distribution: China ( Gansu, Xinjiang, Xizang).
