Andrena (Micrandrena) minutula (Kirby, 1802)

Distribution: North-western Africa, through Europe to Cyprus, Turkey and Lebanon (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002; Wood et al. 2020a).

Remarks. Zavattari (1905) mentions this species (as A. parvula Kirby) from Jericho, which is unlikely, given the northern distribution of A. minutula in the Levant. The mountain ranges of Lebanon seem to be the southernmost distributional limit of A. minutula in this region (Wood et al. 2020a). This questionable record could refer to another species of Micrandrena (e.g. A. spreta Pérez), as most of the species concepts of Micrandrena did not exist at the time of this publication.
