Abstract

The type specimens of Anthophorinae described by Yan-Ru Wu in the Beijing Institute of the Zoological Museum of the Chinese National Animal Collection Resource Center are reviewed. Primary types of 47 taxa are illustrated, and detailed information on each taxon is provided. New synonymies are also established for Amegilla (Glossamegilla) himalajensis (Radoszkowski, 1882) = Amegilla (Glossamegilla) hainanensis Wu, 2000, syn. nov., Anthophora (Petalosternon) hanseni Morawitz, 1883 = Anthophora (Paramegilla) codentata Wu, 2000, syn. nov., Anthophora (Paramegilla) solskyi Fedchenko, 1875 = Anthophora (Caranthophora) amegilloides Wu, 2000, syn. nov., Anthophora (Clisodon) furcata ssp. montislinguarum Schulz, 1906 = Clisodon xinjiangensis Wu, 1985, syn. nov., Elaphropoda percarinata (Cockerell, 1930) = Elaphropoda tienmushanensis Wu, 1979, syn. nov.. Habrophorula rubigolabralis Wu, 2000 is removed from Habrophorula forming new combination Habropoda rubigolabralis (Wu, 2000), comb. nov..
