Remark: Anthophora wuae Brooks,1988is a nomen novum pro Anthophora sinensis( Wu, 1982)nec Clisodon sinensis Wu,1982(= Anthophora sinensis(Wu)). As first revisor, Brooks conserved the name Anthophora( Clisodon) sinensis(Wu)and proposed the name Anthophora( Anthomegilla) wuaeBrooksfor the other taxon. The subgenus of this taxon was not designated by Wu (1982: 412)and the original species identification labels were all lost. Wu (2000)added the identification labels with the subgeneric status proposed by Brooks (1988). Two A. xizangensisWu paratypespecimens ( 1♀(IOZ(E)205485), Xizang, Pulan County, Baga, 4700 m, 18.VII.1976, leg. Fu-Sheng Huang and 1♀(IOZ(E)205486), Xizang, Rutog County, Rebangzhabu, 4700 m, 26.VII.1976, leg. Fu-Sheng Huang) hold the identification label Anthophora xizangensisdet. by P. Rasmont as paratypesof Anthophora xizangensis, but they are paratypesof Anthophora( Anthomegilla) wuae Brooks, 1988. One paratype( 1♂(IOZ(E)210503), Xinjiang, Baicheng County, Aqikesu, 2400 m, 21.V.1978, leg. Ying-Hen Han) holds the identification label Anthophora wuaedet. P. Rasmont as paratypeof Anthophora wuae, but it is actually Anthophora arctica Morawitz, 1883.
Distribution: China( Gansu, Xinjiang, Xizang).
