Treatment

Andrena (Micrandrena) rubecula Warncke, 1974 View in CoL

Distribution: Egypt, Libya ( Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002). Likely present in southern Israel.

Flight period: February–April ( Warncke 1974a).

Flower records: None.

Material examined: HOLOTYPE: EGYPT: Cairo, Maadi [Meadi], 20.ii.1931, H. Priesner (♀) ( OLML) ; PARATYPE: EGYPT: Wadi Digla , 13.iii.1931, Dr. H. Priesner (1♀) ( SMNHTAU); non-type material : EGYPT [ ISRAEL]: Taba , 19.iii.1988, Y. Zvik (2♀) ( SMNHTAU) .

Remarks. The collecting locality of Taba is only about 1 km from the Israeli border, and the species is therefore likely to occur also in Israel.
