468233AF96275116AB18EF8B2284E9A6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. For females, the character of facial foveae dorsally narrow, occupying at most ⅓ of space between lateral ocellus and compound eye, and then strongly narrowing strongly ventrally in combination with the lack of other distinctive characters allows placement into Group L (subgenus Euandrena Hedicke, 1933) in the key of Wood (2023). The head is relatively rounded (only 1.1 times wider than long), but the mouthparts do not even approach twice the length of the head (at most ½ the length of the head), excluding A. solenopalpa Benoist, 1945, and the clypeus has only a narrow and poorly-defined impunctate longitudinal midline, not a broad and raised shining impunctate longitudinal midline as in A. symphyti Schmiedeknecht, 1883. The clypeal mid-line is also not impressed and the pronotum lacks a clear humeral angle, excluding the angustior - group (couplet 155), and the terga are finely punctate (excluding A. fortipunctata Wood, 2021). This brings the species to couplet 157 of the female key at which point a diagnosis against all remaining Euandrena species is necessary. It is not part of the bicolor - group (couplets 160 + 161) as the facial pubescence is a mixture of black and golden-brown hairs and the mesepisternum is entirely covered with brown hairs), it is neither A. granulosa Pérez, 1902 or A. vulpecula Kriechbaumer, 1873 because the tergal margins only have their apical rim narrowly lightened hyaline-yellow to whitish (Fig. 5 D) and the clypeus medially weakly shagreened and more or less shining with clearly visible punctures (Fig. 5 B; tergal margins broadly lightened with this lightened area clearly exceeding the diameter of an ocellus and clypeus largely shagreened with punctures disappearing into the underlying sculpture in A. granulosa and A. vulpecula, Fig. 5 E – F), and it is not A. rufula Schmiedeknecht, 1884 because the head is 1.15 times longer than wide and the surface of the clypeus is medially weakly shagreened and more or less shining (Fig. 5 B; in A. rufula with the head 1.25 times wider than long and with the surface of the clypeus more strongly shagreened, shining only along its apical margin, Fig. 5 G), and the tergal margins have a distinct hyaline rim (Fig. 5 D; in A. rufula with the tergal margins showing at most an obscure brownish rim, Fig. 5 H). Andrena rufula is also known in Iberia only from the Pyrenees, and hence the Sierra de Cazorla is widely separated geographically. This places it extremely close to the newly described Andrena rostro (see below). Whilst the males are clearly distinct, females exhibit the same relatively rounded face (only 1.1 – 1.15 times wider than long) and pubescence pattern. Care must be taken to separate the two species, and comparative material is essential; Andrena officinalis can be recognised due to the tergal margins which are slightly but distinctly impressed, almost forming a step-like junction on T 2 (in A. rostro with the tergal margins weakly depressed, not forming such a junction on T 2), scutum medially with punctures shallow but distinctly produced against the underlying granular microreticulation, with the scutum itself weakly shining (in A. rostro with the scutal punctures medially shallow and poorly defined, disappearing into the dull granular microreticulation), discs of T 2 – 4 with very weak microsculpture, almost polished and shining (in A. rostro with the discs of T 2 – 4 with faint microsculpture, enough that they are not polished and shining), marginal areas of T 2 – 4 laterally with long messy apical hair fringes of hairs which clearly extend over the marginal areas and onto the disc of the following tergum (Fig. 5 D; in A. rostro with T 2 – 4 laterally with much shorter and tighter, only barely extending onto the disc of the following tergum, Fig. 7 D), and the hyaline rims of the terga slightly exceed the diameter of an ocellus in breadth (Fig. 5 D; in A. rostro with the hyaline-lightened marginal rim of the terga subequal to the diameter of an ocellus in breadth, Fig. 7 D). These characters are very subtle, and so association with concurrently active males should be made. In the male sex, due to the mandibles elongate, sickle-like, and strongly crossing apically, strong pronotal angle, and gena broadened, exceeding the diameter of the compound eye (Fig. 6 D), this species keys to Group K in the male key of Wood (2023). Within this group, the elongate A 3 (exceeding the length of A 4), bidentate mandible, intermixed light and dark facial pubescence, moderate body size of 9 mm, and genital capsule without strongly projecting gonocoxal teeth (Fig. 6 F) places it at couplet 158 (i. e. not continuing to subgenus Andrena s. str.) and next to A. lavandulae Pérez, 1895. The two species are superficially close, but can be separated principally by the clypeus, the tergal margins, and the genital capsule. Andrena officinalis has the clypeus in frontal view elongate, ventrally extending far belong a line drawn between the lower margins of the compound eyes, the overall shape of the head therefore elongate, 1.15 times wider than long (in A. lavandulae with the clypeus apically truncate, only slightly extending belong a line drawn between the lower margins of the compound eyes, the overall shape of the head therefore broader, 1.25 times wider than long), the tergal margins are mostly dark with the apical rim obscurely lightened hyaline-white (in A. lavandulae with the tergal margins with their apical rim narrowly but conspicuously lightened hyaline-brown), and the genital capsule has the gonocoxal teeth broadly rounded and produced, the gonostyli are basally slightly constricted before strongly broadening to form flattened more-or-less rectangular spatulate apexes, and the penis valves are basally broadened with lateral hyaline extensions, occupying the majority of the space between the penis valves (in A. lavandulae with the gonocoxae apically truncate and not forming teeth, the gonostyli narrow and not apically expanded or spatulate, and the penis valves narrow and more-or-less parallel sided). Genetically, a 658 bp sequence from the COI gene was generated. This was separated from A. lavandulae sequences by an average of 10.03 % (range 9.88 – 10.33 %), and from A. angustior by 4.22 % (range 3.95 – 4.45 %). The closest sequence was an A. angustior from the Sistema Central (Sierra de Alto Rey, Guadalajara province; IBIHM 1039 - 22; Wood et al. 2024). Although A. officinalis does not key immediately adjacent to A. angustior and can easily be separated due to the lack of the distinctively depressed margin of T 2 in both sexes, the barcode result suggests that A. officinalis is an isolated lineage separated from populations of A. angustior which are restricted in Iberia to regions with a temperate climate.	en	Herrera, Carlos M., Alonso, Conchita, Valverde, Javier, Núñez, Alejandro, Wood, Thomas J.

FDB9B1C46544543A97100E59EAE4AFB2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. For females, the character of facial foveae dorsally narrow, occupying at most ⅓ of space between lateral ocellus and compound eye, and then strongly narrowing strongly ventrally in combination with the lack of other distinctive characters allows placement into Group L (subgenus Euandrena) in the key of Wood (2023). Andrena rostro is extremely similar to A. officinalis in the female sex, and females are separated in the diagnosis for that species. For males, recognition at a subgeneric level is always more challenging due to the derived phylogenetic placement of this subgenus which lacks distinctive characters and is defined on female characters. In Wood (2023), it keys to the final Group N (i. e. species lacking distinctive characters) with A 3 exceeding A 4 in length. Here at couplet 216, due to the elongate head which is only 1.15 times wider than long, it would come close to A. (Euandrena) ramosa Wood, 2022 but can be separated by the penis valves constricted subapically before slightly broadening (Fig. 8 D; uniformly narrowing towards their apex in A. ramosa), gonocoxae slightly produced apically into short rounded teeth (gonocoxae apically truncate, forming 90 ° angle in A. ramosa), clypeus uniformly densely punctate over its entire surface, punctures separated by 0.5 – 1 puncture diameters, with interspaces shining (in A. ramosa with the clypeus basally dull and polished and shining in its apical ½, more irregularly punctate with punctures separated by 0.5 – 2 puncture diameters), and mesepisternum laterally with weakly plumose hairs (with strongly plumose hairs in A. ramosa). In terms of the shape of the genital capsule, it comes closest to A. rufula due to the apexes of the gonostyli which form somewhat acute points, but A. rufula has the apexes of the gonostyli sharply produced into triangular points, and the gonocoxae are produced into broad flattened truncate teeth (see illustrations in Praz et al. 2019). As for females, the relatively rounded head is the primary character for recognition. Confusion with A. officinalis is not possible due to the strongly broadened gena and more complex genital capsule of the former.	en	Herrera, Carlos M., Alonso, Conchita, Valverde, Javier, Núñez, Alejandro, Wood, Thomas J.

584ACE1FF3895618814E3F7CEC8A603B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Andrena cazorlae can be recognised as part of the subgenus Notandrena Pérez, 1890 due to the short and broad head (1.4 times wider than long), pronotum with a humeral angle (weak and challenging to see), the non-metallic integument, and lack of any other distinctive characters takes it to couplet 177 in the female key of Wood (2023). It can be separated from all Iberian Notandrena due to the combination of dense scutal punctures (separated by 0.5 – 1 puncture diameters, but not contiguous; contiguous in A. griseobalteata Dours, 1872), facial foveae broad and occupying slightly> ½ the space between the compound eye and lateral ocellus (narrower in all comparison species), body length of 9 mm (10 – 11 mm in A. langadensis albipila Warncke, 1967), and hind tibia with the dorsal scopal hairs clearly exceeding the diameter of a lateral ocellus in length, not meaningfully shorter than the ventral hairs (these hairs around 1 – 1.5 times the diameter of an ocellus in A. pallitarsis Pérez, 1903). Finally, due to the broad facial foveae it is similar to A. pontica Warncke, 1972 (southern Germany to eastern Turkey), but apart from the distinct geographical range, this species has the facial foveae broader (occupying ¾ of the space between the compound eye and lateral ocellus) and the scutellar punctures more uniformly dense, separated by 0.5 puncture diameters.	en	Herrera, Carlos M., Alonso, Conchita, Valverde, Javier, Núñez, Alejandro, Wood, Thomas J.
