Listed by

Meena & Dey (2019): Bihar.

Remarks

Andrena praecox is a predominantly West Palaearctic species, with some populations extending into northern Kazakhstan. The south-eastern limit is the Caucasus region ( Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002; Osytshnjuk et al. 2005; Ascher & Pickering 2023). It is considered implausible that this species of temperate woodland is present in Bihar, a state with a predominantly subtropical climate. Meena & Dey (2019) present no evidence to support this listing, and so this species is excluded from the Indian fauna.
