Andrena nitida was recorded from Morocco by Warncke (1974) under the name Andrena nitida mixtura Warncke, 1967. This subspecies was described from Portugal and Spain under the name Andrena limata Smith, 1853 mixtura (Warncke, 1967). However, Warncke transferred this subspecies into combination with A. nitida ( Warncke 1974 , 1976 ) without any apparent justification. Examination of the type series of A. n. mixtura shows that its original placement was justified based on its bivoltine behaviour and the darker colouration of its tergal and scopal hairs ( Wood et al. 2020a ), and that therefore records of A. n. mixtura from North Africa (none of which are part of the type series) refer to A. limata and that A. nitida should be removed from the Moroccan list.
