Andrena (Brachyandrena) pinguis Ariana, Scheuchl, Tadauchi & Gusenleitner, 2009

The species was cited from southern European Russia by Wood & Monfared (2022) based on a single specimen collected in Tinguta, which is also the locus typicus of the consubgeneric species Andrena (Brachyandrena) limonii Osytshnjuk, 1983 . Based on the original descriptions of both species and on the revision of Ariana et al. (2009), these two species should be clearly distinct. However, because these two taxa occur in sympatry, a careful check of the type series of A. limonii (in the Zoological Museum of Moscow University) is required to ensure that the taxon concept of both species is correctly applied.

Distribution. Russia (European part). Outside of Europe, known from Turkey and Iran (Wood & Monfared 2022).
