Description

31. Andrena (Melandrena) cineraria s. lat. (Linnaeus, 1758)

Literature records

Popov (1967); Ascher & Pickering (2021): Centr. Alborz, Karaj valley, Gach-e-Sar; 2150 m a.s.l.; 17–19 July 1965; D. Baker leg.; SEMC; via GBIF occurrence 686218276.

Remarks

The exact identity of this species in Iran is not clear, as previous authors have not distinguished between A. barbareae Panzer, 1805 and A. danuvia Stoeckhert, 1950. This was the case for Warncke, and his distribution maps include dots for A. cineraria in northern Iran (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002). In Turkey, the only taxon is A. danuvia (Hazir et al. 2014; Scheuchl & Willner 2016), and this therefore may be the taxon present in Iran, but this cannot be verified without the inspection of specimens. Of the specimens collected by Baker, some were on the wing in July and are therefore clearly bivoltine, further suggesting that they are not A. cineraria in a narrow sense.

Distribution

In a broad sense, Palearctic (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002; Osytshnjuk et al. 2008).
