Andrena (Cnemidandrena) kishidai subsp. chagyabensis Wu 1982

4. Andrena (Cnemidandrena) kishidai chagyabensis Wu, 1982 Andrena (Cnemidandrena) chagyabensis Wu, 1982: 389, ♀ ♂ [China: Xizang, IZAS, not examined]. Listed by Wood (2024b). Remarks Tadauchi & Xu (2002) placed A. chagyabensis in combination with A. kishidai Yasumatsu, 1935. Wood (2024b) reported A. kishidai chagyabensis as new for India, Bhutan, and Nepal, suggesting that A. k. chagyabensis may not only be distinct based on its disjunct distribution (A. kishidai s. str. is found in northern and north-eastern China), but may have been previously described from northern India by earlier workers (e.g., A. gracillima Cameron, 1897, see below). However, type material is currently unavailable for study to confirm or disprove this. Distribution (subspecies chagyabensis) India (Himachal Pradesh), Bhutan, Nepal, China (Xizang, Yunnan) (Xu & Tadauchi 2002; Wood 2024b).
