Andrena (Carandrena) leucophaea Lepeletier, 1841 View in CoL

Material examined.

Morocco: Fès-Meknès, Azrou, 20 km south, 23.iv.2009, 1♀, E. & P. Hajdaj, OÖLM.

Distribution and remarks.

A West Mediterranean species, found in Algeria, Italy, Spain, and Tunisia ( Gusenleitner and Schwarz 2002), and recently Portugal ( Wood et al. 2020a). In Portugal, the bee has been recorded between January and March, and so it may have been missed by previous collectors in lowland areas of Morocco.
