Anthophora gallica

DALLA TORRE & FRIESE,1895

Author(s) : Pierre Rasmont
Anthophora (Paramegilla) gallica Dalla Torre & Friese, 1895
(=Anthophora quadricolor, Brooks, 1988, partim).

Brooks (1988) synonymized this taxon with Anthophora quadricolor (Erichson). These taxa are however well distinct. The colour pattern of the females quadricolor is very distinctive with its four-colour pilosity.
The males of these species could be separated by the morphology of genitalia and metabasitarsi.
