Distribution and remarks. Previously known only from Algeria and Tunisia ( Gusenleitner and Schwarz 2002 ). At 9 mm in length, this one of the larger Distandrena species, almost as large as Andrena fria Warncke, 1975 which is restricted to Spain. Female Moroccan material is very slightly more striate centrally on the clypeus than comparative material from Algeria and Tunisia, but the male genitalia are a clear match. Other material examined.
