Abstract

The type specimens for names of bee taxa in the tribe Anthidiini, described by Vladimir B. Popov and Vladimir V. Gussakovskij and deposited in the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg), are reviewed. Primary types of 16 taxa (14 described by V. Popov and 2 described by V. Gussakovskij) are illustrated and detailed information is provided. Lectotypes are designated for Anthidium punctatum ssp. zaidamense Popov, 1948 and Anthidium reichardti Gussakovskij, 1930.
