Andrena
(
Bryandrena
)
florea
Fabricius, 1793
Listed by
Meena & Dey (2019)
: North
India
.
Remarks
Andrena florea
is a West Palaearctic species extending east into
Iran
and southern
Turkmenistan
(
Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002
;
Wood & Monfared 2022
;
Ascher & Pickering 2023
). It is considered implausible that this species is present in northern
India
.
Meena & Dey (2019)
present no evidence to support this listing, and so this species is excluded from the Indian fauna.
