Remarks
Andrena barbilabris
is a widespread Holarctic species, found from Europe to North America (
Ascher & Pickering 2023
). However, in Asia it is found in the north, and in the Central Palaearctic is found only in
Kazakhstan
,
Russia
, and
Mongolia
(
Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002
;
Osytshnjuk
et al.
2008
; Xu & Tadauchi 2009b). Its reported presence in Bihar is therefore considered to be impossible, and the species is removed from the Indian fauna.
