Reason for exclusion

It is not clear whether the specimens collected from Iran by Baker were males or females. April is very early for this taxon, which in Europe typically flies in June and July. Given the extreme taxonomic challenge associated with the morphological identification of members of the subgenus Taeniandrena ( Praz et al. 2022) , and given that several taxa found in eastern Turkey were described after the capture of this specimen (e.g., A. producta Warncke, 1973 , A. hova Warncke, 1975 , A. solitaria Warncke, 1975 ), this taxon cannot be confirmed from Iran until male specimens with their distinctive genital capsule have been examined.
