Andrena gracillima Cameron 1897
33. Andrena (incertae sedis) gracillima Cameron, 1897 Andrena gracillima Cameron, 1897: 118, ♀ [India: Uttarakhand, OUMNH, not examined]. Listed by Bingham (1897); Cameron (1897); Bingham (1908); Meena & Dey (2019); Ascher & Pickering (2023). Remarks This is a mystery taxon, as no-one appears to have examined the type material. Wood (2024b) speculated, based on the description, its reported large body length of 15 mm, and the illustration provided by Cameron (1897: pl. 4, fig. 19), that it could potentially be the senior name for A. kishidai chagyabensis. However, type location and examination are required before any further action can be taken. Distribution India (Uttarakhand) (Cameron 1897), doubtfully listed from West Bengal by Bingham (1908).
