Andrena maderensis maderensis COCKERELL, 1922

S t a t u s: The types of A. maderensis (four females and two males) are not deposited in the University Museum, Hope Entomological Collections, Oxford as mentioned by FELLENDORF et al. 1999 (confirmed by James E. Hogan; Oxford), but are in the British Museum of Natural History , London ; see GUSENLEITNER & SCHWARZ (2002). In the

Entomology Collection Data Base (http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/scientificresources/collections) only four syntypes and one possible syntype (primary type number 17a.2820) are listed. The sixth possible syntype seems to be lost.

WARNCKE (1968) defines the nominate species Andrena m. maderensis COCKERELL, 1922 (Madeira) based on one male and one female (Cotypes of A. maderensis Cockerell, 1922 , Museum of Natural History, London) and one male collected on 13.06.1957 by Lindberg (Vale Paraíso west of Camacha, Madeira), which was deposited in the collection of Grünwaldt. Today, this specimen is not part of the collection of Grünwaldt (Bavarian State Collection of Zoology, Munich) but the accompanying female exists (Fig. 21). In the nineties, E. Scheuchl analysed the male and made drawings. Today this specimen seems to be lost.
