Remarks: Wu (2006) thought the female was unknown, but the female had been described by Mavromoustakis (1937). Wu et al.

As to the locality of Paraanthidium muiri Mavromoustakis, 1937, Mavromoustakis (1937) only recorded “ China: Kow Lik”, We confirm it is “Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, Guangdong, China ” (Dr. Max Kasparek, pers. comm.).
