Andrena cameroni Cockerell, 1910 = Melitta cameroni (Cockerell, 1910) Listed by Gusenleitner & Schwarz (2002) . Remarks The name A. cameroni is a replacement name for A. caroli Cameron, 1909 , a taxon described from Shimla ( Cameron 1909: 130 ), but whose name is preoccupied by A. caroli Pérez, 1895 (junior primary homonym). Listed as an Andrena by Gusenleitner & Schwarz (2002) in line with its original description, the true identity of this taxon is actually that of a member of the genus Melitta Kirby 1802 ( Melittidae Michener, 2000 ), to which it was moved by Michez & Eardley (2007) . Interestingly, this was actually noticed by Nurse and pointed out to Cockerell (see Cockerell 1922: 247 ), but this did not achieve wider recognition within the Andrena literature. It is therefore excluded from the Indian Andrena fauna.
