Andrena (Cnemidandrena) robervalensis Mitchell, 1960

Counties: Beltrami, Clearwater, Kanabec, Pine.

Comments: This species identified with reference to Gibbs et al. (2017) and by direct comparison to a paratype specimen deposited in the UMSP. Five UMSP specimens from Minnesota, Alberta, and Manitoba were previously determined as A. robervalensis by B. Donovan and W. LaBerge, but they are instead A. runcinatae . As a result, historic records of A. robervalensis should be considered unreliable.
