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.
