Abstract
The present work is the third and last of three that compose a catalogue of the family Megachilidae in the western Mediterranean region. It includes the taxa of the tribes Anthidiini and Dioxyini (subfamily Megachilinae), their synonymies, discussion, when necessary, as well as their geographical distribution (Tables 1, 2, 3, 4). The results of our study indicate that the fauna of these tribes in the western Mediterranean is composed of 9 genera, 16 subgenera, 58 species in the Anthidiini and 6 genera and 15 species in the Dioxyini. Several species can be differentiated into subspecific populations adding up to a total that exceeds 90 subspecies, all of which are treated. Also, and with the catalogue of the Megachilidae of the western Mediterranean now complete (Ornosa et al. , 2006, 2007, this paper), the fauna of these Apoidea insects can be said to consist of 1 family, 2 subfamilies, 5 tribes, 30 genera, 65 subgenera, 423 species and 486 subspecies. Tables 5 and 6 give a synthesis of the biogeographical data.

En Dioxyini (Tabla 4), el conjunto de los corotipos mediterráneos son la mayoría (54%), pero predominan las especies norteafricanas (33%) sobre los otros corotipos mediterráneos y las especies paleárticas (27%)

Summary
Como las partes I y II (Ornosa et al, 2006, 2007), incluye taxones del territorio mediterráneo occidental de ambas orillas (sin incluir las de localidades más meridionales, netamente desérticas, de Argelia y Marruecos) y abarca hasta Italia y Grecia por el este, que se incluyen cuando forman parte de otras distribuciones más occidentales. Para los datos taxonómicos y de distribución, tal como se indicó anteriormente (Ornosa et al, 2006, 2007), se ha utilizado, salvo rara excepción, la bibliografía original y se han rastreado las publicaciones desde la primera cita de cada taxón hasta las más recientes de todos los ámbitos que comprende el territorio estudiado, aunque en el texto se incluyen sólo los rangos generales de distribución y no se pormenorizan citas concretas más que en casos concretos.
