Anthophora (Mystacanthophora) raddei Morawitz, 1875

Brooks (1988) placed Anthophora raddei into the subgenus Paramegilla Friese, 1897, but did not fully study the genital capsule of this species which conforms to Mystacanthophora Brooks, 1988 . Examination of the type (by P. Rasmont), study of the genital capsule of A. raddei and other Mystacanthophora species, and generation of DNA barcodes all support placement of A. raddei close to Anthophora (Mystacanthophora) borealis Morawitz, 1865, a species currently accepted in this subgenus (Brooks 1988).
