Paraanthidium muiri Mavromoustakis, 1937: 155–157 , ♀. Holotype: ♀, “ China: How Lik, 1911, leg. F. Muir” [Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, Guangdong, China], Natural History Museum, London, UK; Mavromoustakis, 1954: 249, ♂ (new description); Wu, 1962: 162 (list); Wu et al., 1988: 60, ♂ (redescription, misidentification).

Trachusa (Paraanthidium) muiri: Wu, 2006: 176 View in CoL , ♂ (redescription, misidentification), Fig. 93; Kasparek, 2017: 121, ♀, ♂ (redescription).

Material examined: China: Zhejiang, Hanzhou (30º15′N, 120º13′E), 1 ♀, 7.VII.1980 GoogleMaps , leg. no information on label; Guangdong, Shenzhen, Luohu, Fairy Lake Botanical Garden (22º35′N, 114º10′E), 1 ♀, 4 ♂, 6.V.2016, leg. Feng YUAN GoogleMaps ; Guangdong, Yangchun, Chuncheng, Panlong (23º09′N, 112º56′E), 1 ♂, 17.IV.2018, leg. Feng YUAN GoogleMaps .

General distribution: China (Fujian, Zhejiang *, Guangdong, Yunnan) .

Remarks: Wu (2006) thought the female was unknown, but the female had been described by Mavromoustakis (1937). Wu et al. (1988) and Wu (2006) redescribed the male specimens collected from Yunnan and identified them as the male of T. muiri , but the characters show it is misidentified, it should be Trachusa (Paraanthidium) wuae Niu , sp. nov. As to the locality of Paraanthidium muiri Mavromoustakis, 1937 , Mavromoustakis (1937) only recorded “ China: Kow Lik”, We confirm it is “Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, Guangdong, China ” (Dr. Max Kasparek, pers. comm.).
