=Anthophora clavicornis Fedchenko, 1875: 27, M; 1876: Pl. I, fig. 6, 6a. Locus typicus "Близъ селенія Оббурденъ 4 іюня 1870 г. (6000')." [Near the village of Obburden June 4, 1870 (6000').]
=Anthophora (Paramegilla) clavicornis, Brooks, 1988.

Brooks (1988) was placing this species in the subg. Paramegilla. However, Wu (1988) described her Anthophora(Dasymegilla) antennalis (Locus typicus; Xinjang, Janqi [42.0591°N, 86.5711°E]).. One of us (PR) revised the type of this taxon in IOZB and it is clear that it is very near from clavicornis Fedchenko. Wu (1988) gave some species characters to separate antennalis from clavicornis. As we have only one specimen known from each of these taxa, one of them being incomplete with no genitalia, it is difficult to verify if these differences are just representing variation of a single species or two different ones. Following Wu (1988) we could hypothesize that they are two near but different species. The genitalia of antennalis have not been retrieved but they have been carefully illustrated in its original description. The shape of genitalia as designed by Wu (1988) and the shape of T7 from antennalis holotype $ are consistent with its Dasymegilla assignement. As it is very clear that antennalis Wu and clavicornis Fedchenko are very near parents, we do not follow Brooks (1988) to place this last one in Paramegilla but in Dasymegilla instead.

Distribution: Tadjikistan. The species is presently known by its holotype only. Abdomen is missing from the begining.
