Diagnosis: The anterior side wavy yellow bands on female metasomal terga are obvious, sometimes these bands are interrupted in middle on T1–T5 ( Fig. 3e ), female clypeus yellow, but with a black large maculation in middle ( Fig. 3c ), propodeal enclosure highly tessellate, punctures shallow and indistinct, posterior lateral margin of axilla and posterior margin of scutellum yellow ( Fig. 3d ); male is similar to Anthidium (A.) pseudophilorum sp. nov., but lateral lobe of T7 longer, recurved and spiniform ( Fig. 4f ), median spine of S7 much shorter than submedian spine ( Fig. 4f ), T2 puncture density lower and size larger in basal half.
