The Afrotropical species of the genus Anthidiellum Cockerell are revised. There are twelve species in two distinct subgenera; Pycnanthidium and Chloranthidiellum. An early record of Anthidiellum sensu stricto from Africa resulted from a misidentification. Two new species are described, Anthidiellum (Chloranthidiellum) pamae and Anthidiellum (Pycnanthidium) somaliense. Anthidiellum eritrinum is moved from the nominative subgenus to Chloranthidiellum, and a key for the identification of both sexes of the species is given. The species are redescribed with illustrations of male terminalia for most species, which have not been published before, and colour photographs. Four names are held in abeyance because their identity, and therefore status as valid species, is uncertain. They are Anthidiellum tegwaniense (Cockerell); Anthidiellum bulawayense Mavromoustakis; Anthidiellum nigripes (Friese) and Anthidiellum orichalciscopatum (Strand). They are here tentatively presumed to be junior synonyms of Anthidiellum zebra Friese.
对Anthidiellum Cockerell属的非洲热带物种进行了修订。该属有12个物种，分属于两个不同的亚属：Pycnanthidium和Chloranthidiellum。非洲地区早期关于狭义Anthidiellum的记录是误认所致。描述了两个新物种，即Anthidiellum (Chloranthidiellum) pamae和Anthidiellum (Pycnanthidium) somaliense。Anthidiellum eritrinum从指名亚属移至Chloranthidiellum，并给出了该物种雌雄两性的鉴定检索表。重新描述了这些物种，多数物种配有此前未发表的雄性外生殖器插图以及彩色照片。有四个名称暂搁，因为它们的身份以及作为有效物种的地位尚不确定。它们是Anthidiellum tegwaniense (Cockerell)；Anthidiellum bulawayense Mavromoustakis；Anthidiellum nigripes (Friese) 和Anthidiellum orichalciscopatum (Strand)。此处暂将它们假定为Anthidiellum zebra Friese的次异名。
