Mount Lebanon : Shouf Biosphere Reserve , Barouk-Maaser dirt road, 1769 m , 16.V.2019 , 1♂ ; Shouf Biosphere Reserve , Barouk Trails crossing, 1772 m , 16.V.2019 , 1♀ , 1♂ ; Shouf Biosphere Reserve , Maaser Al Chouf Gate, 1726 m , 16.V.2019 , 2♀ , 1♂ , all leg. Boustani M. , coll. MBOU . Notes. Specimens differ slightly from European A. rugulosa by the strength of the integumental puncturing, but a barcode sequence is very close to that of a Swiss A. rugulosa specimen (C. Praz pers. comm.), and so this name is favoured. Its presence in Lebanon represents another widespread West Palearctic Andrena species that reaches its southern limit in the Mount Lebanon range ( Wood et al . 2020a ).
