3. Andrena (Andrena) varians (Kirby, 1802)

Listed by

Meena & Dey (2019): North India.

Remarks

Andrena varians is a predominantly West Palaearctic species, with some populations extending into Kazakhstan (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002; Osytshnjuk et al. 2005; Shebl & Tadauchi 2009; Ascher & Pickering 2023). It is considered implausible that this species is present in northern India. Meena & Dey (2019) present no evidence to support this listing, and so this species is excluded from the Indian fauna.
