Abstract
The type specimens for names of bee taxa in the tribe Anthidiini, described by Ferdinand Morawitz and which are deposited in the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) are reviewed. Primary types of 35 taxa are illustrated and detailed information is provided. Lectotypes are here designated for the following seven nominal taxa: Anthidium affine Morawitz, 1874, A. christophi Morawitz, 1884, A. insulare Morawitz, 1873, A. montanum Morawitz, 1865, Stelis aculeata Morawitz, 1880, S. scutellaris Morawitz, 1894, and S. simillima Morawitz, 1875. The types of Anthidium laticeps Morawitz, 1874, A. puncticolle Morawitz, 1888, and A. terminale Morawitz, 1893 have not been found and are probably lost.
