6. Andrena (Suandrena) portosanctana COCKERELL, 1922 View in CoL

Andrena maderensis ssp. portosanctana COCKERELL, 1922 View in CoL

S t a t u s COCKERELL (1922) described Andrena portosanctana View in CoL . Due to the lack of known syntypes and in the absence of further specimens of this species, the Andrena View in CoL specialist Robert Wilhelm Grünwaldt, from Munich, Germany (1909–2003) doubted the validity of A. portosanctana View in CoL as a distinct species ( WARNCKE 1967). According to GUSENLEITNER & SCHWARZ (2002), A. portosanctana View in CoL is a synonym for A. maderensis View in CoL . This is also argued in the Fauna Europaea ( DE JONG 2013). In contrast, WARNCKE (1967) gave A. portosanctana View in CoL the status of a subspecies of A. maderensis View in CoL . The first syntype is deposited in the CAS (CAS TYPE 15373: syntype, female, adult; Fig. 10 View Fig ); the second ( Fig. 11 View Fig ), in the NMNH (USNM 24656, barcode number 00533697). Andrena portosanctana View in CoL is an independent species ( KRATOCHWIL et al. 2014).

The syntype of A. portosanctana (female) deposited in the CAS ( CAS TYPE15373 About CAS ) will be designated as the lectotype ; the syntype of A. portosanctana (female)
