Abstract

The taxonomy of Allanthidium Moure, Anthidianum Michener, Chrisanthidium Urban, and Notanthidium Isensee is discussed. A key to distinguish these genera is presented. Keys to Anthidianum and Chrisanthidium species are provided; Anthidianum bizonatum (Friese) is reinstated as a valid species and the male of Chrisanthidium adornatum is described.
