Mavromoustakis, G. A.: On some bees of the family Megachilidae (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) from Afghanistan

sp. nov., male, has fifth tergite convex only at sides, seventh tergite with two lateral lobes, longer than br^ad, between the lobes with an emargination in the middle of which a shor produced spine not reaching tip of the lateral spines. Besides this the three species have very different form of sixth sternite (see my previous descriptions of Anthidium afghanistanicum sp. nov.). Anthidium terminale F. MOR., female, from Turkestan differs from Anthidium klapperichi sp. nov., female, in having mesoscutum and scutellum finely and densely punctured, dull (in A. klapperichi sp. nov., strongly and densely rugosely punctured, shining), axillae rounded (in A. klapperichi sp. nov., apical margin straight). Summary The writer treated Anhidium reiehardti Guss., from Pamir a subspecies of Anthidium montanum F. MOR. (Anthidium montanum F. MOR. subsp. reiehardti Guss), and he placed Anthidium montanum F. MOR. subsp. pamirensis ALFKEN from Pamir, a synonym of Anthidium montanum reiehardti Guss., the later having priority. Besides he described two new species from Afghanistan, Anthidium afghanistanicum sp. nov., male, related to Anthidium taschenbergii F. MOR., and Anthidium klapperichi sp. nov., male and female, related to Anthidium taschenbergii F. MOR., and Anthidium, afghanistanicum sp. nov. The types and allotype, paratype are placed in Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, one paratype is in the collection of the author,
