Andrena leaena Cameron 1907

34. Andrena (incertae sedis) leaena Cameron, 1907 Andrena leaena Cameron, 1907: 1002, ♀ [India: Punjab, NHMUK, examined]. Listed by Cameron (1907); Batra (1967); Tadauchi & Matsumura (2007); Chandra et al. (2019); Meena & Dey (2019); Ascher & Pickering (2023). Type material Syntype INDIA • 1 ♀; Ferozepore [Firozpur]; 1–31 Mar. 1898; C.G. Nurse leg.; NHMUK. Other material examined INDIA • 1 ♀; Ferozepore [Firozpur]; 1–31 Mar. 1898; C.G. Nurse leg.; NHMUK (previously undetermined). Remarks Although the type of A. leaena is conserved, its subgeneric affiliation remains unclear, and the male has never been described. Additional study is required to clarify the nature of this species. Though the specimen in the NHMUK type collection is labelled “type”, it is not automatically the holotype and is only a syntype as Cameron (1907) indicates that specimens come from both Ferozepore and Deesa, indicating that multiple individuals were used to describe the species. Distribution India (Punjab, Gujarat) (Cameron 1907).
