Andrena (Plastandrena) agilissima

18. Andrena (Plastandrena) agilissima (Scopoli, 1770) Listed by Makkar et al. (2016): Punjab; Meena & Dey (2018b, 2019): North India; Chandra et al. (2019): Bihar, Delhi, and Punjab. Remarks Makkar et al. (2016) reported A. agilissima as new for India based on specimens from Muktsar in western Punjab. They also provided a barcode for this species (Genbank: KT960836). However, this specimen is A. fuscosa, both based on the morphology presented in photographs, and also based on the barcode which clusters with specimens from Spain and Israel (Wood 2023b). Andrena agilissima (eastern limit in Hungary and Poland) is therefore excluded from the Indian fauna, with these Indian records referring instead to A. fuscosa.
