136. Andrena (incertae sedis) paradisaea Warncke, 1975 *

Material examined

IRAN • 1 ♀; Tehran Province, Samgh Abad; 1900 m a.s.l.; 15 May 2016; M. Kafka leg.; OÖLM .

Remarks

Following the revised concept of Poecilandrena (Pisanty et al. 2022b), A. paradisaea is hereby removed from Poecilandrena and considered incertae sedis. The curved tibial spurs and atypical genitalia clearly place this species outside the Andrena labiata and A. viridescens species group concepts.

Distribution

Israel and West Bank, Turkey, and Iran * (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002; Pisanty et al. 2018).
