Literature records

Alfken (1935, as A. ovatula (Kirby, 1802)) View in CoL ; Khodaparast & Monfared (2012 as A. ovatula View in CoL ); Praz et al. (2022).

Remarks

The subgenus Taeniandrena is taxonomically complex and contains many cryptic species. It has recently undergone a substantial revision ( Praz et al. 2022), with many changes for the West Palearctic fauna, including the recognition of A. afzeliella as a distinct taxon and the senior name of A. albofasciata Thomson, 1870 .

Distribution

Confused due to historical synonymy with A. ovatula . Across Europe to Turkey, the Levant, and Iran ( Praz et al. 2022).
