Note.

This genus can be easily distinguished by its explicit robust body, closed scutoscutellar suture (Fig. 12C), and lamellated preoccipital carina, omaular carina, and scutellum (see Fig. 12C, E). Eardley and Griswold (2017) revised 16 Afrotropical species of this genus from 18 described species, the two remaining species are in the subgenus Anthidium Trichanthidium, including a one-time discovered Pachyanthidium himalayense (Gupta & Sharma, 1993) and Pachyanthidium lachrymosum (Smith, 1879) discovered from India and Chaiyaphum, Thailand (Bingham 1897; ITIS 2008; Tadauchi and Tasen 2009; Kumar et al. 2017).
