Overview

The following material taken with permission from: Mitchell, T.B. 1962. Bees of the Eastern United States, Volume II. North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. Tech. Bul. No.152, 557 p.

In Anthidiellum the mesopleura are vertically carinate, dividing the area into an anterior face and a lateral, more coarsely sculptured face. This carina originates at the front coxa and extends to the anterior margin of the prothoracic tubercle, which also is sharply carinate. The scutellum has a straight and elongate posterior margin which protrudes conspicuously over the completely vertical posterior face of the propodeum. The mandibles are 4-dentate in the females, 3-dentate in the males. The maxillary palpi are 2-segmented; and the 2nd recurrent vein of the front wing terminates at the tip of the 2nd submarginal cell. Sterna 5-8 in the males are retracted and somewhat modified.

The cells in this group are attached to rocks or to vegetation.
