Andrena (Andrena) praecox
2. Andrena (Andrena) praecox (Scopoli, 1763) Listed by Meena & Dey (2019): Bihar. Remarks Andrena praecox is a predominantly West Palaearctic species, with some populations extending into northern Kazakhstan. The south-eastern limit is the Caucasus region (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002; Osytshnjuk et al. 2005; Ascher & Pickering 2023). It is considered implausible that this species of temperate woodland is present in Bihar, a state with a predominantly subtropical climate. Meena & Dey (2019) present no evidence to support this listing, and so this species is excluded from the Indian fauna.
