Literature records
Alfken (1935
, as
A. ovatula
(Kirby, 1802))
;
Khodaparast & Monfared (2012
as
A. ovatula
);
Praz
et al
. (2022)
.
Remarks
The subgenus
Taeniandrena
is taxonomically complex and contains many cryptic species. It has recently undergone a substantial revision (
Praz
et al
. 2022
), with many changes for the West Palearctic fauna, including the recognition of
A. afzeliella
as a distinct taxon and the senior name of
A. albofasciata
Thomson, 1870
.
Distribution
Confused due to historical synonymy with
A. ovatula
. Across Europe to
Turkey
, the Levant, and
Iran
(
Praz
et al
. 2022
).
