Andrena (Cryptandrena) rotundata Pérez, 1895

New data.

Portugal • Lisboa, Lourinhã, Praia da Areia Branca ; 29. vi. 1969; 1 ♂ ( ZOO.0017521 , Fig. 3 A ); det. T. J. Wood, leg. M. A. Diniz.

Remarks.

The first record of the species in continental Europe [otherwise in Sardinia, Sicily ( TJW, unpublished), and northern Africa]. This is a surprising discovery, considering the isolation of this locality in relation to the remaining distribution. Further study and examination of collections from southern Iberia is warranted.

Distribution.

Coastal central region.
