Comments
Michanthidium is most similar to the subgenus Larocanthidium, from which it can be separated by the following characters: female mandible without distinct carinae on outer surface, without a strong basal tooth separated from mandibular margin by a deep emargination; male T6 without distal margin expanded, elevated, or bilobed medially. In the key to the subgenera of Hypanthidioides (Michener 2007[4]), the presence of a hind coxal spine in the male is one of the characters that separates Michanthidium from Larocanthidium. However, this spine is not present in the male of Hypanthidioides ferrugineus and therefore should be removed from the key.
