Treatment

164. Andrena (Cnemidandrena) simillima sischkai Warncke, 1988 View in CoL *

Material examined

TURKEY • 1 ♂, 1 ♀; Hakkâri, Tal S Gevria-Pass ; 3000 m a.s.l.; 4 Aug. 1986; S. Blank and K. Warncke leg.; OÖLM .

Literature records

Central Alborz, Kandavan Pass, nr Pol-e-Zanguleh; 2200 m a.s.l.; 17 Aug. 1967; D. Baker leg.; SEMC; via GBIF occurrence 784989096.

Remarks

This material is almost certainly referable to the subspecies sischkai that is known from high mountains in the Balkan Peninsula, eastern Turkey, and the North Caucasus. It, along with the other ‘subspecies’ of A. simillima , is likely to represent a good taxon ( Wood et al. 2020b; Wood 2021b; Le Divelec 2021), but a revision is required.
