Russia . Novosibirsk Prov . : Evsino , 6. VII 2017 , 1 ♂ , KB . DISTRIBUTION IN WEST SIBERIA. *No. This is a first record from the territory to the eastward of the Urals. REMARK. Pseudoanthidium tenellum is a member of the “ lituratum ” species complex. The reliable characters for delimitation of this species from others were given in Aguib et al . (2010), but we have been unable to use them for females, because of their complexity and the lack of material for comparison. Our female specimens could be P. tenellum , P. nanum (Mocsáry, 1881) or one of three species described from the Urals which have not been revised properly: P. floripetum (Eversmann, 1852) , P. reptans (Eversmann, 1852) , and P. eversmanni (Radoszkowski, 1886) (see Proshchalykin et al ., 2017). Thus females are not listed here.
