Andrena ( Euandrena ) bicolor Fabricius, 1775 Listed by Meena & Dey (2019) : Punjab, North India . Remarks Andrena bicolor is a widespread West and Central Palaearctic species that extends to parts of Central Asia (though due to its highly variable nature, several distinct, cryptic, and/ or unrecognised species have been confused with it, see Praz et al. (2019) and Wood (2023c) for examples). The exact distribution is unclear, but given the enormous confusion surrounding this taxon and its scarcity in Central Asia based on examined material, and the lack of specific supporting records by Meena & Dey (2019) , true A. bicolor is considered unlikely to be present in India .
