Note.

Pseudoanthidium commonly has a tentorial pit placed below the connection of the subantennal suture and the epistomal suture ( Michener 2007). The female mandible has more than four teeth, and the terga are without an apically depressed area (see Fig. 13E ; Litman et al. 2016). As a very broad, ill-defined complex group, the South East Asian fauna is represented by only one subgenus, Pseudoanthidium s. str.
