Description

29. Andrena cameroni Cockerell, 1910

= Melitta cameroni (Cockerell, 1910)

Listed by

Gusenleitner & Schwarz (2002).

Remarks

The name A. cameroni is a replacement name for A. caroli Cameron, 1909, a taxon described from Shimla (Cameron 1909: 130), but whose name is preoccupied by A. caroli Pérez, 1895 (junior primary homonym). Listed as an Andrena by Gusenleitner & Schwarz (2002) in line with its original description, the true identity of this taxon is actually that of a member of the genus Melitta Kirby 1802 (Melittidae Michener, 2000), to which it was moved by Michez & Eardley (2007). Interestingly, this was actually noticed by Nurse and pointed out to Cockerell (see Cockerell 1922: 247), but this did not achieve wider recognition within the Andrena literature. It is therefore excluded from the Indian Andrena fauna.
