Description
Andrena (Aenandrena) chaetogastra Pittioni, 1950
(Fig. 254)
Distribution: Cyprus.
Material examined: PARATYPE: CYPRUS: Troodos, 16-22.vi.1939, H. Lindberg (1♀) (NHMUK); (A. bisulcata Morawitz): ISRAEL: Alonim, 26.iv.1943, H. Bytinski-Salz (1♀); Dovrat, 18.iv.1970, H. Bytinski-Salz (1♀); Haifa, 22.iv.1973, A. Freidberg (1♀); Jerusalem, Rehavia West, 27.iv.1945, on Astomaea seselifolia (1♀) (SMNHTAU).
Remarks. Material cited by Warncke (1969) from Israel was reidentified as A. bisulcata Morawitz, and so A. chaetogastra is removed from the Israeli list and confirmed as endemic to the Troodos mountains in central Cyprus. In direct comparison, the depressed tergal marginal zones in A. chaetogastra occupy a noticeably greater proportion of the visible surface, on tergum 4 occupying almost the entire area (Fig. 254). The hind tibiae and all the tarsi are also orange, whereas in A. bisulcata they are black.
