Andrena
(
Hoplandrena
)
scotica
Perkins, 1916
Literature records
Scheuchl & Willner (2016
, as
A. carantonica
PĂ©rez, 1902
).
Reason for exclusion
The taxa
A. scotica
and
A. trimmerana
have been endlessly confused (for use of the name
scotica
, this will be clarified in a manuscript, TJW
et al
. in prep.), as female material cannot be consistently separated morphologically. Confident determination can only be made from spring generation males.
Andrena
scotica
must therefore be considered unconfirmed until such males can be examined.
