Andrena ( Notandrena ) fulvicornis Schenck, 1853 Material examined IRAN • 1 ♀ ; Gilan , 5 km E of Rudbar ; 400 m a.s.l. ; 8 Jun. 2014 ; J. Halada leg.; OÖLM • 1 ♂ , 2 ♀♀ ; Kašan [Kashan]; 3 May 1999 ; K. Deneš leg.; OÖLM • 1 ♂ ; Mazandaran Province , 20 km S of Amol ; 640 m a.s.l. ; 6 Jun. 2014 ; J. Halada leg.; OÖLM • 1 ♂ ; Mazandaran , 20 km S of Nowshahr , Weysser [Veysar]; 1400 m a.s.l. ; 9–14 Jun. 1977 ; C. Holzschuh and F. Ressl leg.; OÖLM . Literature records Morice (1921 , as A. lucens Imhoff, 1868 ); Khodarahmi Ghahnavieh & Monfared (2019) . Remarks Though Morice reported specimens from Iran as A. lucens , a synonym of A. nitidiuscula , we consider them to be A. fulvicornis because they were collected in February. Andrena nitidiuscula is strictly univoltine, flying in the summer, whereas A. fulvicornis is bivoltine, flying in the spring and the summer ( Schmid-Egger & Doczkal 1995 ). Distribution Unclear because of the historical synonymy by Warncke with A. nitidiuscula Schenck, 1853 (see SchmidEgger & Doczkal 1995; Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002 ). Andrena fulvicornis has a more southerly distribution in hotter and more Mediterranean areas, and is found across the Mediterranean basin to the Middle East ( Wood et al . 2020b ).
