Description
24. Andrena (Taeniandrena) ovatula (Kirby, 1802)
Listed by
Meena & Dey (2019): Bihar.
Remarks
Meena & Dey (2019) present no evidence for the presence of A. ovatula in India. Moreover, it is more or less ecologically impossible for true A. ovatula to be present in India, as this taxon is confined to the western part of the West Palaearctic (Praz et al. 2022). It is not impossible that the taxon A. (Taeniandrena) afzeliella (Kirby, 1802) could be present in northern India, but this must be established robustly through verified specimens and ideally genetic work. Andrena ovatula is therefore excluded from the Indian fauna.
