Remarks: The assignment of Trachusa cornopes to the subgenus Orthanthidium should be regarded as provisional ( Kasparek, 2017). Further studies are needed to show whether it is justified to accommodate T. cornopes and T. formosana , two quite different species, in the same subgenus ( Kasparek, 2017).
