Treatment

33. Andrena (incertae sedis) gracillima Cameron, 1897 View in CoL

Andrena gracillima Cameron, 1897: 118 View in CoL , ♀ [ India: Uttarakhand, OUMNH, not examined].

Listed by

Bingham (1897); Cameron (1897); Bingham (1908); Meena & Dey (2019); Ascher & Pickering (2023).

Remarks

This is a mystery taxon, as no-one appears to have examined the type material. Wood (2024b) speculated, based on the description, its reported large body length of 15 mm, and the illustration provided by Cameron (1897: pl. 4, fig. 19), that it could potentially be the senior name for A. kishidai chagyabensis . However, type location and examination are required before any further action can be taken.

Distribution

India (Uttarakhand) ( Cameron 1897), doubtfully listed from West Bengal by Bingham (1908).
