Andrena ( Simandrena ) dorsata ( Kirby, 1802 ) Listed by Meena & Dey (2019) : North India . Remarks Andrena dorsata is a widespread Palaearctic species extending from Europe into parts of Central Asia. Given that the Simandrena fauna of India is has been poorly known until now (with the addition of A. tungnatha Wood & Gautam sp. nov. and the relatively recently described A. gorkhana ), the presence of A. dorsata in northern India is uncertain. It is best excluded from the Indian fauna pending precise occurrence records which can be examined and confirmed as either A. dorsata or a different species of Simandrena .
