Andrena ( Micrandrena ) sedentaria Warncke, 1975 * Material examined IRAN1 ♀ ; Elburz Mountains , 60 km E of Minudasht ; 26 May 2007 ; O. Sauša leg.; OÖLM 1 ♂ , 18 ♀♀ ; Golestan , 40 km E of Minudasht NP; 750 m a.s.l. ; 1 Jun. 2014 ; J. Halada leg.; OÖLM . Remarks The relationship between Andrena sedentaria and A. ( Micrandrena ) dmitrii Osytshnjuk, 1993 , which was described from the Turkmenistani side of the Kopet Dag mountain range, is unclear and should be investigated, as the latter may be a junior synonym. As noted by Gusenleitner & Schwarz (2002) , female A. sedentaria are very similar to A. luscinia , but the tergal margins are shagreened and with scattered punctures, a trait mentioned in their comments on A. dmitrii . Type revision is required. Distribution Turkey and Iran * ( Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002 ).
