摘要

Chinese bees of the subgenus Anthophora (Anthomegilla) Marikovskaya, 1976 are reviewed. Eleven species are confirmed to occur in China, two of which are described and illustrated as new species: A. (Anthomegilla) nailungensis Niu, sp. nov. and A. (A.) gyiruensis Niu, sp. nov. The female of A. (A.) beijingensis (Wu, 1986) and the male of A. (A.) flavonigra (Wu, 1988) are described for the first time. Diagnoses, updated synonymies, materials examined, global distributional data and floral associations of each species are provided along with illustrations and a key to known species in China.
