Type data: lectotype ANSP 2382 <F>.

Remarks
The southern Nearctic and Neotropical records of this taxon probably corresponds to Anthidium zamoranicum. Gonzalez & Griswold (2013: 318) mentions the existence of two "forms" in what they considered as a single species, Anthidium maculifrons. The matter requires further investigation.
Distribution
Nearctic Region: Mexico (Chihuahua, Distrito Federal, Sonora, Zacatecas), United States of America; Neotropical Region: Mexico (Chiapas, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Morelos, Nayarit, Oaxaca, Puebla, Veracruz)
