Material examined.
Morocco: Guelmim-Oued Noun, 10 km E Guelmim, 15-16.iv.1995, 5♂, leg. Ma. Halada, OÖLM; Drâa-Tafilalet, 20 km W Boudnib, 9.iv.1995, 1♂, leg. Ma. Halada, OÖLM.
Distribution and remarks.
Previously recorded from Egypt and Tunisia ( Gusenleitner and Schwarz 2002), this species has red tergites in the female sex but the male is fairly generic within the Aciandrena ; it has an almost completely yellow and polished clypeus with loose white hair (Fig. 127 View Figures 125–130 ), the tergites are dull, the nervulus is pronouncedly antefurcal, and the genitalia are simple (Fig. 128 View Figures 125–130 , also illustrated in Warncke 1974). Material from Morocco was entirely male and so comparison with the female type was not possible, but all other characters in the male sex were a good match (Figs 115 View Figures 113–116 , 126 View Figures 125–130 ). These records considerably extend the range of A. pratincola to the west. The species may be found in the Algerian part of the Sahara but more survey effort is required.
Other material examined.
