Andrena ( Suandrena ) cyanomicans PÉREZ , 1895 S t a t u s Andrena cyanomicans was described by PÉREZ (1895) (Espec. nouv. Mellif. Barbarie: 35). The type specimen ( lectotype , one male , ‘Barcelone’) is in the collection of Pérez (MNHN) ( WARNCKE 1967 , DYLEWSKA 1983 ). R. Le Divelec (MNHN) detected the type series (pers. comm.). The type series has been split into several boxes. Four females and four males exist in perfect condition. As usual, Warncke labelled only one specimen (in this case a male) as the lectotype . All other specimens should be treated as paralectotypes . The lectotype ( Fig. 2 ) has the following labels: MNHN Paris , barcode label, lectotype label designated by K. Warncke , round reddish-rose label (darkened by time), label of the Pérez collection in Paris , determination label of K. Warncke. The round coloured labels, about 3 mm wide, found under the specimens collected by Pérez indicate during which month the specimens had been collected. The colours have the following meaning: white = December, January ; salmon pink = February; light blue = March; violet = April; blue = May; green = June; yellow = July; orange = August; red = September; reddish-rose (‘amaranth’, similarly to magenta, but redder) = October; pink = November. A golden label was given to specimens that were of special personal interest to Pérez (pers. comm. A. Touret-Alby , MNHN ) . In the ‘Hymenoptera-Catalogue manuscrit de la collection d'hyménoptères de J. Pérez et notes éthologiques’ ( MUSÉUM NATIONAL D' HISTOIRE NATURELLE 2021 ), A. cyanomicans is listed under the number 1547 (Fig. 3). The lectotype of A. cyanomicans was collected in October (Barcelona, Antigua ) on Inula viscosa [L.] AITON in parallel with Colletes frigidus (valid name Colletes collaris DOURS, 1872). The Pérez collection includes several types and specimens with the locality of Barcelona. The printed label reading ‘Museum Paris Coll. J. Pérez 1915’ is the museum’s collection label with the year when the collection was acquired. Fig. 2a-b: Dorsal and lateral view of the lectotype type specimen of Andrena cyanomicans with labels. Photos: B. F. Santos & A. Touret-Alby © MNHN 2021. Two paralectotypes ( one male , one female ) are in OLML ( Fig. 4 ). These two specimens were labelled by Warncke as paratypes . It would have been more correct to label them as lectoparatypes. Both types are also labelled with ‘Barcelone’. The label for the Pérez collection in Paris is missing. The two specimens belong to the same type series and were taken from the series of the MNHN and deposited by Warncke in his collection. Thus, the whole type series of A. cyanomicans consists of five females and five males . Fig. 3: ‘Hymenoptera-Catalogue manuscrit de la collection d'hyménoptères de J. Pérez et notes éthologiques’ ( MUSÉUM NATIONAL D' HISTOIRE NATURELLE 2021 ). Andrena cyanomicans is mentioned under number 1547.
