The holotypes of Andrena advena and Paracolletes advena phillipensis are female and show no significant morphological differences. The holotypes of Paracolletes euphenax and Paracolletes scitulus are male and are the same as those males associated with the holotype of Andrena advena by morphological similarities and coincident collection data.
