27. Andrena (Truncandrena) tscheki Morawitz, 1872

Listed by

Meena & Dey (2019): Bihar.

Remarks

Meena & Dey (2019) present no evidence to support the presence of this species in India. Andrena tscheki is a West Palaearctic species found in Europe to Turkey, the Caucasus, and the Levant (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002; Astafurova et al. 2021). Populations in the south-east of its range probably represent a distinct species ( A. tscheki tritica Warncke, 1965), but it is ecologically inconceivable that populations reach to Bihar, and so it is excluded from the Indian fauna.
