It is closest to A. israelica Scheuchl &amp; Pisanty, 2016 and A. judaea Scheuchl &amp; Pisanty, 2016 because the facial foveae are relatively broad above and not substantially tapered below, in addition to their small body size of ca 5 mm, which makes them one of the smallest known members of the Aciandrena.</p> <p>Female material can be separated from A. judaea (alternative character state in parentheses) because in dorsal view the foveae are filled with brown hairs (vs whitish hairs) and the nervulus is strongly antefurcal (vs weakly antefurcal). It shares these characters with A. israelica and is therefore extremely similar. It can be separated by the stronger punctures on the clypeus (Fig. 2), punctures apically and laterally clearly present, separated by 0.5–1 puncture diameter (clypeal punctures fine, scattered, apically and laterally separated by 1–2 puncture diameters, not obviously contrasting underlying surface).</p> <p>Male material has a yellow clypeus (Fig. 8) and a strongly antefurcal nervulus, and therefore can be separated from both A. judaea (yellow clypeus, but weakly antefurcal nervulus) and A. israelica (black clypeus, strongly antefurcal nervulus). The genital capsule also differs from that of both taxa as it has pronounced and apically truncate gonocoxal teeth (Fig. 11), the apices therefore square-shaped (gonocoxal teeth weakly produced and apically rounded in A. judaea, gonocoxal teeth more produced but with rounded apices in A. israelica), the penis valves are basally broad and sharply narrow apically (penis valves comparatively narrower basally, narrowing less abruptly apically in A. israelica and A. judaea), and the outer margin of the gonostyli are more strongly emarginate (outer margin straight to very weakly emarginate, see illustrations in Pisanty et al. 2016).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>From the Latin adjective ‘ deminuta ’, meaning ‘small, diminutive’, in reference to its small size.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype IRAN • ♂; Lorestan Province, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=48.986&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=33.419" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 48.986/lat 33.419)">Dorud Lanjaban</a> env.; 33.419° N, 48.986° E; 960 m a.s.l.; [collected in May 2016 but no precise date on label]; M.

Females were not separable from A. deminuta sp. nov., as the only apparent difference is that the tergal shagreenation is stronger, but the single male specimen had a divergent genital capsule. In the holotype male of A. deminuta, the gonocoxal teeth are elongate with clearly truncate and square-shaped apices (Fig. 11). However, in the specimen from Fars Province, the gonocoxal teeth are less strongly elongate, and apically more rounded (Fig. 12). Given the presence of cryptic Aciandrena species which cannot be morphologically separated in the female sex (Pisanty et al. 2022a), it is unlikely that these belong to the same taxon. The material from Fars is not described until more material is available.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Southern Iran (provinces of Ilam and Lorestan).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FF97512ED9B0DD69FD5FFBF8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This subgenus is poorly understood in the Eastern Mediterranean to the Middle East (Praz et al. 2019; TJW, G. Pisanty &amp; C. Praz unpublished data) and extreme care should be taken when identifying material in this region.</p> <p>Female material is superficially similar to taxa around A. allosa Warncke, 1975 (see Praz et al. 2019) due to the light scutal hairs (Fig. 13) and intermixed black and white hairs on the face (Fig. 15). However, females of A. boustaniae sp. nov. present several important characters, specifically the flattened clypeus with a slightly raised impunctate longitudinal ridge (Fig. 16), the broad, apically projecting, and medially emarginate process of the labrum (Fig. 18), the finely rugose propodeal triangle, the dorsally wide facial fovea (occupying over half the distance between the compound eye and the lateral ocellus), the dark hind tibiae with bicoloured tibial scopa (Fig.13, white ventrally, black dorsally), the densely and clearly punctate scutum, the apically hyaline tergal margins (Fig. 20), and the clear white hair bands on T2–4. In combination, these characters allow separation from all described Turkish, Caucasian, and Central Asian taxa of Euandrena.</p> <p>In the male sex, A. boustaniae sp. nov. has a unique genital capsule for Euandrena in this region, lacking gonocoxal teeth, the inner margins with an almost obtuse angle, thus superficially resembling the genitalia of certain species of A. (Graecandrena), gonocoxae slightly diverging medially, and the penis valves extremely broad at the base (Fig. 24). In the diverging gonocoxae, the genital capsule slightly resembles A. hermonella Scheuchl &amp; Pisanty, 2016, but the lateral hyaline extensions of the penis valves are rounded, not forming angular projections.</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>Named after Mira Boustani for her tireless work researching and cataloguing the understudied Lebanese bee fauna (Boustani et al. 2021).</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype IRAN • ♂; Yazd, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=54.204&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=31.573" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 54.204/lat 31.573)">Banadak-o</a> sadat; 31.573° N, 54.204° E; 2103 m a.s.l.; 22 Mar. 2021; S.

The centrally flattened clypeus places it close to two taxa, A. canuta Warncke, 1975 from Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan and A. alijevi Osytshnjuk, 1986 from Azerbaijan. Andrena oblata can be separated from A. canuta because the clypeus is completely flat centrally (Fig. 26) (centrally with a longitudinal excavated groove), the clypeus itself is compact, not noticeably elongated (weakly elongated), and the tibial scopa is golden (tibial scopa white). Andrena oblata can be separated from A. alijevi by the facial fovea which dorsally occupy ⅓ of distance between lateral ocellus and compound eye (dorsally occupying ½ this distance), the uniformly golden hairs of the vertex, paraocular area, and scutum (hairs here greyish-brown with admixture of black hairs), and the golden tibial scopa (tibial scopa whitish with yellow-brown hairs at base).

Surface of clypeus laterally with weak shagreenation, smooth and shining over majority of area. Process of labrum trapezoidal with rounded corners, twice as broad as long. Face, scape, gena, and vertex with uniformly golden hairs, longest approximately half of length of scape. Gena slightly exceeding width of compound eye; ocelloccipital distance equalling diameter of lateral ocellus. Fovea narrow dorsally, occupying ⅓ of distance between lateral ocellus and compound eye, slightly narrowed below at level of antennal insertions; filled with dark brown hairs. Antennae dark, A3 slightly exceeding A4+5, A4 sub-square, slightly wider than long, A4 as long as broad.</p> <p>MESOSOMA. Scutum and scutellum with very fine and irregular shagreenation, surface shining to weakly shining; surface densely and clearly punctate, punctures separated by 0.5–1 puncture diameter (Fig. 27). Pronotum without humeral angle. Mesepisternum finely rugose, dull, lateral faces of propodeum with shagreened, weakly shining. Propodeal triangle poorly delineated with very fine and inconspicuous lateral carinae, internal surface with fine network of slightly raised rugae. Dorsolateral faces of propodeum strongly shagreened and densely punctate with large shallow punctures, punctures separated by 0.5–1 puncture diameter, propodeal triangle therefore distinguished by absence of punctures. Mesosoma with golden hairs, becoming lighter ventrally, longest on mesepisternum, not exceeding length of scape; propodeal corbicula with plumose hairs comprising dorsal fringe and weakly plumose hairs on internal surface. Legs uniformly dark, pubescence brownish basally to golden apically; tibial scopae brownishgolden, femoral scopae and flocculus lighter (Fig. 28). Hind tarsal claws with inner tooth.

(Elaeagnaceae) in May, with the majority of individuals having their scopae full of pollen. Further study is required to see if this is an important part of the pollen diet. Use of pollen of Elaeagnus has also been recorded in Andrena (Euandrena) nasica Lebedev, 1933, which is found in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan (Osytshnjuk et al. 2008). This species can easily be separated by its strongly elongated clypeus, fulvous tarsi and hind tibiae, its narrower foveae, and its much less densely punctate terga. However, the association with Elaeagnus and broadly similar morphology suggests that this plant and its associated fauna of Andrena should be more thoroughly studied in semidesert environments in Iran and Central Asia.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Southern Iran (Yasouj).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FF9F5127DA74DC57FE60FDFF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is most similar to A. alijevi and to A. oblata sp. nov. because of the centrally flattened clypeus and thick yellow tergal hairbands (Fig. 35). Andrena sani can be separated from A. alijevi because of the uniformly light brown hairs on the vertex, paraocular area, and scutum (Figs 31–32) (hairs here greyish-brown with admixture of black hairs) and the slightly impressed longitudinal impunctate line on the clypeus surrounded by dense punctures (Fig. 33) (clypeus without impressed longitudinal line, centrally with scattered punctation). Andrena sani can be separated from A. oblata by the slightly impressed longitudinal impunctate line on the clypeus surrounded by dense punctures (clypeus without impressed longitudinal line, centrally with scattered punctation) and the weaker tergal puncturing, punctures here sparse and obscure (Fig. 36), separated by 2–4 puncture diameters (punctures dense, distinct, separated by 1–2 puncture diameters; compare Figs 30 and 36).</p> <p>Males are harder to diagnose (as for most Euandrena), but the combination of the characters A3=A4, dark, non-metallic terga, predominantly black facial pubescence, non-elongated clypeus, scutum finely granulate and matt, terga finely shagreened with sparse indistinct punctures (Fig. 39), and simple genital capsule (Fig. 40) places it close to A. alijevi. It can be separated because of the slightly impressed impunctate longitudinal line on the clypeus, the clypeus otherwise entirely densely punctate (clypeus without longitudinal impunctate line, apical ⅓ smooth and shiny with scattered punctures) and the facial pubescence, which is extensively white centrally, black laterally (predominantly black, with occasional pale hairs).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>Named after Sina San, who collected many of the new species described in this manuscript.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype IRAN • ♀; Yazd, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=54.015&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=31.648" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 54.015/lat 31.648)">Sanij Baghe</a> khaleghieh; 31.648° N, 54.015° E; 2060 m a.s.l.; 13 Mar. 2020; S.

It has a domed clypeus with faint latitudinal striations (Fig. 42) (common in many Turkish Micrandrena and typically reminicient of A. simontornyella Noskiewicz, 1939), and shiny and densely punctate scutum (Fig. 43). This places it close to A. puffina Warncke, 1975 and A. stolida Warncke, 1975. Andrena elam can immediately be separated from both these taxa by the sculpturing of the terga which have extremely strong, raised microreticulation covering the entirety of T1 and the discs of T2–4 with large, dense punctures intermixed throughout, punctures particularly large and coarse laterally (Fig. 44). Andrena puffina has the terga finely and subtly punctate, and A. stolida has the terga with fine punctures that are not clearly visible against the underlying shagreen, not becoming noticeably coarser laterally.

The propodeal triangle is long and finely rugose, and the facial foveae are very narrow throughout their entire length, which is consistent with the Andrena fumida species group (former subgenus Fumandrena Warncke, 1975 which now falls within a broad Micrandrena concept, Pisanty et al. 2022b). Within the fumida -group and Micrandrena with consistently narrow foveae, A. extenuata is closest to A. protuber Pisanty, 2022 in the female sex because of the protruding clypeus which is centrally weakly punctate and shiny. However, the foveae of A. extenuata are noticeably narrower below, clearly narrower than the width of a flagellum (Fig. 46), linear and without a medial constriction (subequal to width of flagellum, with clear medial constriction), the scutellum is mirror-smooth (scutellum shagreened), and the terga are less densely punctate (Fig. 48) (with clear and moderately dense punctures).</p> <p>In the male sex, A. extenuata sp. nov. can be instantly recognised by its genital capsule, which is narrow with elongated penis valves and gonostyli (Fig. 53). Andrena protuber has a more compact and typical ‘ Micrandrena ’ genital capsule (see illustrations in Pisanty et al. 2022a); that of A. extenuata is more similar to that of A. sandanskia Warncke, 1973 (elongate, but with gonostyli that broaden apically) or A. djelfensis Pérez, 1895 (gonostyli narrow and pointed, but with strongly developed gonocoxal teeth and gonostyli medially angled, Fig. 54).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>From the Latin adjective ‘ extenuatus ’, meaning ‘thinned, reduced, diminished’ and referring to the narrow and pointed genital capsule.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype IRAN • ♂; Yasouj, Doposhteh, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-51.517&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=30.589" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -51.517/lat 30.589)">Dasht-e Rum</a>; 30.589° N, 51.517° W; 2091 m a.s.l.; 10 Apr. 2021; E.

Andrena obsidiana lacks a gradulus at the base of T2–3 (Fig. 60), and has brilliant, completely unshagreened shiny terga. This unusual combination of characters separates it from all Middle Eastern species of Micrandrena. The only slightly similar species is A. omnilaevis Wood, 2020 from northern Spain and Portugal. Apart from the clear geographic separation, A. obsidiana can easily be separated by its narrower foveae which occupy ⅓ of the space between the compound eye and the lateral ocellus (occupying half of this space) and completely shiny scutum and terga (scutum and tergal discs with faint shagreenation).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>From obsidian, a dark black igneous rock that can be polished to a brilliant shine, in reference to the shiny terga lacking in shagreenation or microreticulation.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype IRAN • ♀; Ilam Province, Abda Man, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=47.301&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=32.915" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 47.301/lat 32.915)">Dinar Gaouh</a>; 32.915° N, 47.301° E; 1830 m a.s.l.; 12 May 2016; M.

The propodeal triangle is long and finely rugose, and the facial foveae are very narrow throughout their entire length (Fig. 62), which is consistent with the Andrena fumida -group. In the female sex, it differs from eastern members of this group in the densely microreticulate terga with bead-like punctures (A. griseigena Warncke, 1975, with terga almost impunctate, without raised microreticulation) and the weakly shagreened and shining scutum (A. immaculata Warncke, 1975 and A. kopetica Osytshnjuk, 1993 with scutum uniformly dull). It is similar to A. elam sp. nov. because of the dense raised microreticulation of T1–2 (Fig. 64), but the punctures of T4 are faint and sparse, separated by 3–4 puncture diameters (punctures strong, separated by 1–2 puncture diameters; compare Figs 44 and 64) and the scutum has weak granular shagreenation (shagreenation absent, smooth and shining).</p> <p>In the male sex, A. subviridula has the long and dense ‘beard’ of hairs on the clypeus that project ventrally that is typical of the fumida group species (Fig. 66), and closely resembles A. immaculata in general appearance. However, the genital capsule is different (lacking basally widened penis valves) and more closely resembles that of a A. tomora Warncke, 1975 and A. fabrella Pérez, 1903 (Fig. 70). However, the gonocoxae are not produced into apical points, the gonostyli are apically wider, not parallel-sided, and the inner margin of the gonostyli have a noticeable kink (Fig. 69, absent in A. fabrella, present in A. tomora but other previously mentioned characters apply).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>From the Latin prefix ‘ sub ’, meaning ‘less’ and the Latin adjective ‘ viridulus ’, meaning ‘green’, in reference to the subtle metallic green colouration of its scutal integument.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype IRAN • ♂; Tehran Province, 6 km N of <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=51.307&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=36.188" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 51.307/lat 36.188)">Gačsar</a> [Gachsar]; 36.188° N, 51.307° E; 29 May–2 Jun. 2002; J.

Andrena idigna sp. nov. has the general appearance of a Carandrena because of its broad head (Fig. 81), tergal hairbands (Fig. 84), and lack of any obvious derived features, one of the reasons why this former subgenus has been used as a ‘waste basket’ for species that cannot be easily allocated elsewhere. Its integument lacks metallic reflections or red colouration on the terga, immediately separating it from almost all species in this group. It is therefore superficially similar to A. euzona Pérez, 1895, which also has dark terga. However, A. euzona has an extremely shiny scutum and is found outside the Carandrena + Notandrena group, whereas A. idigna has the scutum entirely and uniformly shagreened and dull. Though A. idigna lacks a clear humeral angle on the pronotum (faint hint of this trait present but obscure), a character that is usually present in the Notandrena, provisional placement in this subgenus is the most appropriate because of the broad head, shagreened scutum, shagreened and essentially impunctate terga, and tergal hairbands. Its dark terga, shagreened scutum, and unusual propodeal triangle, which is delineated laterally by fine carinae but with a narrow, longitudinal, and slightly impressed channel surrounded by irregular latitudinal rugae along its length, allow separation from all related taxa. This subgeneric placement should be reassessed following discovery of male specimens and DNA sampling.</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>From the Sumerian ‘ idigna ’ or ‘ idigina ’, meaning ‘running water’, in reference to its locus typicus on the Karun River, the largest river in Iran.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype IRAN • ♀; Mollasani, Ahwaz [Ahvaz]; 17 Feb. 1965; S.

The subgenus was described from four Central Asian species (Osytshnjuk 1983a), but it reaches to Israel (Pisanty et al. 2022a). Andrena flagrans differs from Central Asian taxa because the clypeus is convex (not flattened or depressed) and is most similar to A. veterana Pisanty, 2022 and A. huma sp. nov.

Andrena flagrans can easily be separated from A. veterana because the terga are entirely shiny (Fig. 90), without shagreen, discs impunctate (tergal discs of T2–4 basally shagreened, sparsely and very finely punctured) and the propodeal triangle lacks short raised longitudinal rugae along its basal margin (propodeal triangle with short raised longitudinal rugae).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>From the Latin present participle ‘ flagrans ’, meaning ‘burning, blazing’, or ‘shining’, in reference to the strongly shining terga.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype IRAN • ♀; Fars Province [Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province], Yasuj [Yasouj], <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=51.61&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=30.545" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 51.61/lat 30.545)">Sarb-e Taveh</a> [Sarab-e Taveh]; 30.545° N, 51.610° E; 2030 m a.s.l.; 4 May 2016; M.

Females are most similar to those of A. veterana and A. flagrans because of the slightly convex clypeus (Fig. 92). Andrena huma can easily be separated from both A. veterana and A. flagrans as T1 is entirely shagreened (vs T1 entirely shiny, without shagreen), the apical ⅓ of the clypeus is smooth and shining (vs entirely shagreened in A. veterana), the terga have strong apical hairbands (vs terga without apical hairbands in A. flagrans), the weak structure of the basal part of the propodeal triangle (vs propodeal triangle basally with strong longitudinal rugae in A. veterana), and the dark hairs on T5 and flanking the pygidial plate (Fig. 96) (vs hairs here golden in A. flagrans).</p> <p>Males have a yellow-marked clypeus (Figs 98–99), putting them close to A. veterana and A. planirostris Morawitz, 1876, the only two known Planiandrena with a yellow clypeus in the male sex. Andrena huma sp. nov. can easily be separated from A. veterana because the genital capsule is elongate (Fig. 102), simple, the inner margin of the gonostyli lacks an angular extension, and the gonocoxal teeth are produced into acute points (genital capsule comparatively compact, inner margin of gonostyli with angular extension, gonocoxal teeth truncate, not forming clear apically projecting teeth). The genital capsule of A. huma is similar to that of A. planirostris, but the gonocoxal teeth are much more strongly pronounced and the penis valves are strongly broadened at the base before narrowing apically, therefore triangular (gonocoxal teeth only slightly pronounced, penis valves very weakly broadened basally, essentially parallel-sided, see illustrations in Osytshnjuk 1983a).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>Named after the mythical Huma bird from Iranian legends and fables that was said to never alight upon the ground.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype IRAN • ♂; Yazd, Tezerjan, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=54.214&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=31.624" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 54.214/lat 31.624)">Hossein Abad Seyyed Mahmood</a>; 31.624° N, 54.214° E; 1993 m a.s.l.; 5–6 Mar. 2020; S.

It has the same very broad process of the labrum (Fig. 105) and narrow foveae that tightly follow the inner margin of the compound eye, but the propodeal triangle is noticeably narrower (Fig. 107), slightly depressed, and there is no obviously raised area centrally. The propodeal triangle does, however, still have basal rugae, a feature present in A. huma sp. nov. and absent in A. flagrans sp. nov. Because the shape of the head is so extremely similar, A. sella is confidently placed in the Planiandrena. It can be instantly separated from all described species of Planiandrena because the apical margin of T1 and the entirety of T2 are red marked (Fig. 108). Structurally, it can be separated by the combination of the shape of the propodeal triangle, which is slightly depressed and medially narrowed (broad and unnarrowed in A. huma and A. flagrans), by the clypeus, which is domed and highly polished over the majority of its area (Fig. 105) (shiny only in the apical ⅓ in A. huma and A. flagrans), and by the terga, which are shiny but clearly punctate throughout, both on the discs and the marginal areas (at least basally shagreened in A. huma, without shagreen but also with only occasional punctures in A. flagrans).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>From the Latin noun ‘ sella ’, meaning ‘saddle’, in reference to the red-banded abdomen.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype IRAN • ♀; Yasouj, Deli Bajak, <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=51.495&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=30.518" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 51.495/lat 30.518)">Sepidar</a>; [30.518° N, 51.495° E]; 2181 m a.s.l.; 23 Apr. 2021; E.

It belongs to the Andrena polita species group and is closest to the larger species with red-marked terga, specifically A. caspica Morawitz, 1886, A. unicincta Friese, 1899, and A. unifasciata Friese, 1899. Males can instantly be separated by the unique genitalia, which lack gonocoxal teeth (Fig. 118) (vs strongly produced and pointed in A. caspica and A. unifasciata, weakly produced and laterally diverging in A. unicincta). Females can be separated from A. unicincta by the shiny scutum (Fig. 112) (vs dull) and interstitial nervulus (vs postfurcal). Separation from A. caspica can be made by the smaller body size of 10 mm (12–13 mm) as well as the comparatively shinier scutum (vs only slightly shiny in A. caspica, comparative material required). It is therefore very similar to A. unifasciata, and based on the limited female material, separation from this taxon in the female sex is not currently possible.</p> <p>Similar red-marked female material of Ulandrena collected from Uludere in Şırnak Province (Turkey) by Klaus Warncke (16 Jun. 1981) is morphologically inseparable from Levantine specimens of A. unifasciata and the Iranian specimen of A. bulbosa sp. nov. Males must be found that can resolve the identity of specimens from south-eastern Turkey, which has biogeographical affinities with both the Levant and Iran. Molecular data (G. Pisanty pers. comm.) suggests that there may be cryptic species within this group that require clarification and delineation. Based on morphological knowledge, both A. unicincta and A. caspica range from the Levant to Iran, but male A. unifasciata are currently known only from the Levant. The nomenclatural and distributional situation may therefore change pending revision.</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>From the Latin meaning ‘bulbous’ in reference to the swollen genital capsule that separates this taxon from similar red-marked species of Ulandrena.</p> <p>Material examined</p> <p>Holotype IRAN • ♂; Fars, 15 km SE of Sarvestan; 1800 m a.s.l.; K.

It appears similar because the clypeus is domed and shining (Fig. 122), the foveae are dorsally narrow (though slightly constricted and separated from the inner margin of the compound eye medially), and there is a faintly raised longitudinal ridge centrally on the pygidial plate. However, it is smaller, the process of the labrum is not as wide and is generally more rounded (Fig. 123), the integument of the frons and paraocular areas have hints of metallic green reflections, the propodeal triangle is constricted medially, extremely narrow, and slightly depressed, therefore slightly ‘T’ shaped (Fig. 125), and the hind tibial spur is straight, not broadened submedially. In the absence of male material, no subgenus is currently assigned.

It is partly similar to previously described species of Planiandrena because of the short and broad process of the labrum (Fig. 129) and the similarly sculptured though significantly wider clypeus (Fig. 128) that is wider than long (vs as wide as long or longer than wide in A. flagrans sp. nov., A. huma sp. nov., and A. sella sp. nov.). However, the foveae are substantially wider dorsally, occupying nearly half of the distance between the compound eye and the lateral ocellus (Fig. 130) (vs not occupying more than ¼ of this distance in the three comparison species). The pygidial plate is also flat and the hind tibial spur is unbroadened. It is therefore similar to A. hulae Pisanty, 2022 from northern Israel, which is also not possible to place in a subgenus at this time. Andrena rostamiae can be separated by the dark antennae (vs antennal segments 5–12 lightened orange below), the flattened clypeus (vs clypeus domed), the shorter ocelloccipital distance that is subequal to the diameter of a lateral ocellus (vs slightly greater than the diameter of a lateral ocellus), the smoother propodeal triangle that lacks basal rugae (vs propodeal triangle with short longitudinal basal rugae), and the impunctate scutum and scutellum (vs shallowly but distinctly punctate).

Budaschkin leg.; OÖLM.</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>The taxonomic history of the two names A. assimilis and A. gallica is long and confused (SchmidEgger &amp; Scheuchl 1997; Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz 2002), in part due to the unclear location of the type material of A. gallica, which was recently rediscovered (Le Divelec 2021). The putative criteria used to separate material was in the colour of the wing venation and the degree of infuscation of the wing itself (Osytshnjuk et al. 2008; Motyka et al. 2016). However, this character is highly variable. Examination of the type of A. assimilis in Berlin shows that, though the wings are somewhat infuscate, the veins are not entirely dark, with intermixed dark and light veins, particularly the basal vein (Fig. 137). In contrast, the type of A. gallica (and more broadly all examined specimens from southern France) has hyaline wings with almost uniformly golden veins (see illustrations in Le Divelec 2021).</p> <p>Problems with the proposed two-species classification can most easily be seen in Iberia. In the Pyrenees, the light form is present (e.g., A. gallica iberica, Fig. 140), extending across the northern parts of Spain (Fig. 145) and down the Atlantic coast as far as the Algarve in southern Portugal. However, in central and southern Spain forms with dark infuscate wings can be found that show both light and dark veins in the same wing (Madrid, Fig. 146). In the Sierra Nevada (Granada, at 2100 m a.s.l., Fig. 147) and the Sistema Central (Ávila, 1300 m a.s.l., Fig. 148) forms with extremely dark wings and wing venation can also be found. This increased melanism is even more apparent in Morocco, where populations in the Atlas Mountains (A. assimilis barnei) are entirely dark, including all of their body hair.</p> <p>Warncke treated A. gallica as a subspecies of A. assimilis, and in his distribution map (Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz 2002) he presented a clean picture of three separated populations: A. assimilis s. str. in the southern Balkans, Turkey, and the Caucasus; A. assimilis gallica in continental Europe and Russia; and A. assimilis barnei in Morocco. However, Warncke was inconsistent with his determination of material from this group, as specimens listed here from Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Serbia with golden wing venation were determined as A. assimilis s. str. He also determined specimens from Spain as both assimilis s. str. and assimilis gallica, contradicting the clean picture presented in his distribution map. Likewise, Osytshnjuk et al. (2008) argue that both A. assimilis and A. gallica are present from Eastern Europe eastwards, Western and Central Europe containing only A. gallica. The situation is reminiscent of the taxonomic confusion present in Bombus (Thoracobombus) concerning B. laesus Morawitz, 1875 and B. mocsaryi Kriechbaumer, 1877, which vary in hair colour and are present in sympatry across much of Eastern Europe. Though varying in their hair colour, these taxa were recently found to belong to the same broad taxon (Brasero et al. 2021).</p> <p>Due to this extensive variation within A. assimilis, including in the type specimen itself, which does not unambiguously show uniformly dark wing venation, A. gallica is synonymised under A. assimilis. This includes the subspecies described by Bischoff (1922, Figs 139–144), which were previously synonymised under A. assimilis gallica by Warncke (1967) but were listed under A. gallica by Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz (2002).</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Andrena assimilis is distributed across the West and Central Palearctic, from Morocco (absent from the rest of North Africa and the Levant) across continental Europe to Turkey, northern Iran *, Russia (European part to Eastern Siberia), and Central Asia (Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz 2002; Proshchalykin et al. 2017a). It is unclear why Warncke did not include the Soika and Mavromoustakis record from northern Iran in his distribution maps for this species, since he clearly examined and determined it.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFAF5169D9FBDB21FAF4FC71	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz (2002) give an overview of this subject, but what is clear is that although a number of coloured female forms exist (e.g., morawitzi Thomson, 1872, atrorubicata Dours, 1872, aulica, bluethgeni Stoeckhert, 1930), the male genitalia associated with these forms are extremely similar, leading many authors to group taxa together into a broad A. bimaculata. This problem of morphological variability exists in many taxa found within the subgenus Plastandrena, and detailed molecular revision encompassing a wide geographic range is necessary to fully resolve their statuses.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Unclear due to ongoing taxonomic confusion. Andrena bimaculata s. lat. is found throughout the West and Central Palearctic to Mongolia (Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz 2002; Ascher &amp; Pickering 2021).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFD5516BD9D2DFA0FAA6FCC5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This was the case for Warncke, and his distribution maps include dots for A. cineraria in northern Iran (Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz 2002). In Turkey, the only taxon is A. danuvia (Hazir et al. 2014; Scheuchl &amp; Willner 2016), and this therefore may be the taxon present in Iran, but this cannot be verified without the inspection of specimens. Of the specimens collected by Baker, some were on the wing in July and are therefore clearly bivoltine, further suggesting that they are not A. cineraria in a narrow sense.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>In a broad sense, Palearctic (Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz 2002; Osytshnjuk et al. 2008).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFD0516CD9FCDF95FB2BFDB0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(= A. griseobalteata Dours, 1872, see Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz 2002; Proshchalykin et al. 2017b; Le Divelec 2021). As is typical of Pérez’s writing, the description itself is unhelpful, and does not allow diagnosis. Inspection of the female lectotype in Paris (designated by Warncke in 1967, though automatically the holotype since the taxon was described from a single specimen) shows that it is not a synonym of A. griseobalteata, as the body size is too small, the scutum is less densely punctate, the tarsi are orange, and the first tergum is extremely finely and densely punctate (Figs 150–152). It is instead the senior synonym of A. recurvirostra, which was later described from Turkey (Warncke 1975). Unification under the name A. emesiana clarifies this situation, and means that A. griseobalteata has never been recorded from the Levant, as mentioned by Grace (2010, as A. erythrocnemis), this mention probably deriving from Warncke’s incorrect synonymisation. Note, the name is misspelled on one of the specimen labels as ‘ emesiensis ’ (Fig. 149); the correct spelling is emesiana (Pérez 1911).</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Turkey *, Syria, Iran *.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFDF5165D9E9DB5AFE0FFB87	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz (2001) noted that this taxon is extremely close to A. eversmanni based on personal correspondence from Warncke and, as suspected by Popov (1949), A. peshinica is indeed synonymous with A. eversmanni. Examination of the syntype shows the same small body size, squamous hairs on the scutum, thick tergal hairbands, and light terminal fringe (Figs 153–156).</p> <p>The justification given by Nurse (1904) that it differed from A. eversmanni because of the red-coloured tergal segments is insufficient, as A. eversmanni often has red coloured terga in other parts of its range, for example in Iran where all examined specimens were at least partially red-marked, and in Kazakhstan where one examined female had red-marked terga, the other with black-marked terga.

This may by a similar situation to that of the type of A. gallica, which was described by Schmiedeknecht but the type material was collected by Pérez in southern France, and hence the type series remained in the Pérez collection in Paris (Le Divelec 2021). Moreover, the taxonomic situation is highly confused. Warncke treated A. hypopolia as a subspecies of A. numida Lepeletier, 1841 (Warncke 1967), but also described taxa such as A. numida albiscopa Warncke, 1967 from Turkey, and used several other names in combination to describe ‘regional’ variation (see map in Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz 2002). It is the opinion of the lead author that all taxa should probably be synonymised under A. numida, and that he observed variation is predominantly one of colouration, not structural variation. For now, A. hypopolia is included on the Iranian list, but this may be subsumed into A. numida following molecular revision.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Unclear. Taking a broad concept with all taxa synonymised under A. numida, this taxon has a panMediterranean distribution (see map in Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz 2002).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFCC5171D9E8D81DFBB0FC7A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Structurally, there do not appear to be clear differences, but A. induta has much brighter pubescence, and females can be separated by the light (induta) or dark (infirma) scopal hairs. Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz (2002) argue that A. induta may therefore simply be a colour form of A. infirma. However, more study is required before a synonymy can be made with confidence.</p> <p>In contrast, the type specimen of A. patella is clearly identical to A. induta, as it has the same strong raised longitudinal impunctate line on the clypeus (Fig. 167), and the scopae are golden (Figs 166, 168). It also falls within the known distributional range of A. induta, this taxon being known from the western Himalayas in Kashmir. A prudent first step is to synonymise A. patella with A. induta, and for further synonymy between A. infirma and A. induta to wait until type inspection is possible and ideally molecular work is conducted.</p> <p>As Warncke’s distribution maps included points in northern Iran, A. induta is not reported here as new for the country.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Turkey, Armenia, Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Kashmir, India (Warncke 1974c, 1975 a; Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz 2002; Osytshnjuk et al. 2008).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFCC5173D9A6DF3AFCFAFD73	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Warncke leg.; OÖLM.</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>Andrena nitidicollis is an obscure species that was previously known only from desert habitat in southern Kazakhstan. Its phylogenetic affinities are not clear, being placed in the Graecandrena Warncke, 1968 by Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz (2002), but not by Osytshnjuk et al. (2008). Due to the rarity of this taxon, it is illustrated here (Figs 169–174).</p> <p>Through its combination of small body size (Fig. 169), shiny scutum with short, semi-squamous hairs (Fig. 171), orange hind tibiae, thick white tergal hairbands (Fig. 173–174), and predominantly smooth propodeal triangle (Fig. 172), A. nitidicollis can be compared to two sets of species in two subgenera: 1) A. (Aciandrena) pavonia Warncke, 1974, A. (Aciandrena) palmyriae Wood, 2021, and A. (Aciandrena) xera Pisanty, 2022 and 2) A. (Graecandrena) schwarzi Warncke, 1975. In group 1, the propodeal triangle is entirely shagreened, leading to placement in the subgenus Aciandrena, whereas in group 2, the propodeal triangle has basal rugae, which along with the male genitalia leads to placement in subgenus Graecandrena. The propodeal triangle of the Iranian specimen has a narrow area with basal rugae, making it somewhat intermediate and resulting in its incertae sedis placement in the absence of genetic data.</p> <p>Comparison with photographs of the type of A. nitidicollis (Astafurova et al. 2022) shows that the Iranian specimen is conspecific due to the combination of its completely smooth scutum (completely shagreened in A. pavonia, partially shagreened in A. xera), its truncate labral process that lacks an apical notch (deeply notched in A. palmyriae), scutum with sparse punctures centrally, separated by&gt;2 puncture diameters (separated by 1–2 puncture diameters in A. schwarzi), broad facial foveae that occupy almost the entire space between the compound eye and the lateral ocellus (occupying ½ to ¾ of this space in all other species), and finally and most importantly, the relatively strongly and deeply punctate lateral parts of T3–4, punctures separated by 1–2 puncture diameters (punctures weaker, sparser, or absent in all other species). Its presence in Iran is reminiscent of A. longiceps, which has a predominantly Central Asian distribution, but which was recently recorded in Iran for the first time (Radchenko et al. 2021).</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Iran *, Kazakhstan.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFF7514DD9FBDA3BFE2AFE0C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

What is more surprising is that the collecting locality of Tinguta is the locus typicus for Andrena (Brachyandrena) limonii Osytshnjuk, 1983, the holotype of which is a female from Volograd reg., Tinguta, 13 Aug. 1954, leg. Razumova (see Osytshnjuk 1983b; Osytshnjuk et al. 2005). The specimen examined here was found in boxes of undetermined material at Linz that were part of the Warncke collection. It was part of a series of specimens of various species that were collected by the Russian entomologists G. Viktorov, D. Panfilov, and L. Zimina. These specimens were borrowed by Warncke from the Zoological Museum of Moscow University (Y. Astafurova pers. comm.) at some point and never identified.</p> <p>The specimen itself perfectly matches material of A. pinguis from Turkey and Iran, and the two taxa cannot be confused, as A. pinguis has the mesepisternum coarsely areolate, whereas it is smooth in A. limonii. Ariana et al. (2009a) did not examine the female type (in the Moscow State University collection), but they did examine a male from the locus typicus collected 3 Aug. 1954, leg. Razumova, which would therefore not be a paratype, unless this is a typographical error and the specimen was collected on 13 Aug. 1954, in which case it would be part of the type series (see Osytshnjuk 1983b for details of paratypes). The holotype should be examined to ensure that it corresponds to A. limonii sensu Ariana et al., though given the strong morphological differences it seems more likely that the two taxa simply (though unexpectedly) occur in sympatry.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Russia *, Turkey, Iran * (Ariana et al. 2009b).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFFC5140D8B7DC66FD7BFC3E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

As the former subgenus Poliandrena has been found to be strongly polyphyletic, and since most taxa placed in Campylogaster probably do not belong there (Pisanty et al. 2022b), type revision is required to establish the identity of A. shakuensis and its phylogenetic placement.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Iran.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFFB5146D99FD81DFF44FCC1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is known from a single female specimen collected in southern Iran (Shellali near Dizful, Arabistan [now Dezful, Khuzestan Province]) on 4 March 1904. In his description, Popov compared A. skorikovi to A. iranella, noting a strong similarity, but giving characters related to the density of tergal puncturing. Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz (2002) remark on the strong structural similarity, noting that the dark coloured A. skorikovi may represent the first generation of the red-coloured A. iranella (citing a specimen in their possession from July). However, Osytshnjuk et al. 2005 write that A. iranella flies in April and May, and Popov listed specimens from March–May in the type series; further collection is required to establish whether A. iranella and A. skorikovi are distinct taxa.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Iran (Popov 1940).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFE45159D995D81DFE2CFC1D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In Central Asia, A. subsmaragdina is easily separable from other members of the former subgenus Carandrena (= Notandrena, see Pisanty et al. 2022b) because it is the only member in this region with a yellow clypeus in the male sex. Comparison of the genital capsule to that of material from the Levant to Uzbekistan (Figs 175–176, also illustrated in Osytshnjuk 1984; Osytshnjuk et al. 2005) shows that they are identical, and are therefore synonymised.

Additionally, the taxon is present in eastern Turkey (Kars and Hakkâri provinces) based on previously unidentified specimens examined by the lead author that were collected by Klaus Warncke and Maximillian Schwarz (Linz). However, it is easy to confuse with other members of the former subgenus Zonandrena (= Melandrena Pérez, 1890, see Pisanty et al. 2022b) such as A. gazella, which is present in Iran. The records presented by Allahverdi et al. (2016) also include specimens collected from late July, which is inconsistent with the ecology of A. gravida, which is univoltine and flies in the spring only, with the latest recorded date for examined Turkish specimens being June 17 th. Given the presence of this taxon in eastern Turkey, it may well be present in northwestern Iran, but this remains to be confirmed.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFEF5155D9B1DF47FDCCFD5C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Warncke leg.; OÖLM.</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>The status of species formerly placed in the subgenus Carandrena (= Notandrena) is problematic, both at a species level and also because the subgenus is polyphyletic (Pisanty et al. 2022b). Osytshnjuk (1984, reproduced with additional data in Osytshnjuk et al. 2005) revised Central Asian Carandrena sensu Warncke. In her key, for males with black clypeal markings, she separated two taxa with the gena extended below into either a sharp projection (A. hieroglyphica) or a rounded projection (A. splendula), and described the latter as a new species. However, this conflicts with the work of Warncke. In his revision of Turkish Andrena, Warncke (1974b, 1975) described a subspecies of A. cara with a rounded projection on the male gena. This character was illustrated by Warncke (1975), who treated the form with the sharp projection (Fig. 164) as A. cara cara, and the form with the rounded projection as A. cara minor. He must have treated A. halictoides as the male of A. cara, as no male for this taxon was described by Nurse (1904), though Warncke never published the synonym (e.g., Warncke 1967), which was later made by Gusenleitner &amp; Schwarz (2002).</p> <p>The problem thus arises that A. cara and its male (described as A. halictoides) are synonymous with A. hieroglyphica because of this distinct genal spine. Andrena cara minor is therefore not a subspecies of this taxon, but a good species, and the senior synonym of A. splendula. The male genital capsules of A. minor and A. splendula are identical (see illustrations in Osytshnjuk 1984; Osytshnjuk et al. 2005). As Warncke’s collection and hence his types were not available to Osytshnjuk for study, or indeed the types of Nurse in London, this independent duplication of names by workers on the Turkish, Pakistani, and Central Asian faunas occurred, when the taxa themselves are found across similarly arid parts of these regions.</p> <p>For a wider classification, Andrena hieroglyphica is placed in incertae sedis; the extensive shiny areas that cover most of the scutum are strongly remenicient of A. euzona, which is found outside the Carandrena + Notandrena (Pisanty et al. 2022b). Andrena minor is also placed as incertae sedis until genetic work can be conducted to fully define the limits of the new, more restricted subgenus Notandrena (Pisanty et al. 2022b). More broadly, though A. cara was not the type species of the former subgenus Carandrena (type species: A. aerinifrons Dours, 1873; Warncke 1968), the likely reality that A. cara occurs outside of the expanded Notandrena sensu Pisanty et al. 2022b further justifies the decision to synonymise these two subgenera in order to reduce nomenclatural confusion.</p> <p>Distribution</p> <p>Turkey, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan (Osytshnjuk et al. 2005, as A. splendula).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87A2FFEB5156D98BD82BFB9DF85C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
