10. Andrena (Melandrena) cussariensis Morawitz, 1886

Listed by

Meena & Dey (2019): Kohtak [= Kohat, Pakistan], Musooree [= Mussoorie], Shimla, Punjab.

Remarks

As discussed above, the listing of Meena & Dey (2019) probably refers to multiple misidentified specimens including A. fuscosa and possibly A. kedarnatha Wood & Gautam sp. nov. There is currently no evidence that true A. cussariensis has a range that extends south of Central Asia.

Distribution

Crimea, Russia (European part to the Urals), Turkey, the Caucasus (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan), Iran, Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan), Mongolia (Osytshnjuk et al. 2008; Astafurova et al. 2021; Wood & Monfared 2022).
