Andrena ( Orandrena ) oralis Morawitz, 1876 Listed by Meena & Dey (2019) : Bihar . Remarks Meena & Dey (2019) present no evidence to support a listing of this species from India . Andrena oralis is a species of open grasslands and steppe from Central Europe to Turkey and Central Asia ( Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002 ; Astafurova et al. 2022 ). It is not impossible that A. oralis could be present in Kashmir, but it is ecologically inconceivable that it will be present in Bihar, and so this species is excluded from the Indian fauna.
