34. Andrena (incertae sedis) leaena Cameron, 1907 View in CoL

Andrena leaena Cameron, 1907: 1002 View in CoL , ♀ [ India: Punjab, NHMUK, examined].

Listed by

Cameron (1907); Batra (1967); Tadauchi & Matsumura (2007); Chandra et al. (2019); Meena & Dey (2019); Ascher & Pickering (2023).

Type material

Syntype

INDIA • 1 ♀; Ferozepore [Firozpur]; 1–31 Mar. 1898; C.G. Nurse leg.; NHMUK.

Other material examined

INDIA • 1 ♀; Ferozepore [Firozpur]; 1–31 Mar. 1898; C.G. Nurse leg.; NHMUK (previously undetermined) .

Remarks

Although the type of A. leaena is conserved, its subgeneric affiliation remains unclear, and the male has never been described. Additional study is required to clarify the nature of this species. Though the specimen in the NHMUK type collection is labelled “type”, it is not automatically the holotype and is only a syntype as Cameron (1907) indicates that specimens come from both Ferozepore and Deesa, indicating that multiple individuals were used to describe the species.

Distribution

India (Punjab, Gujarat) ( Cameron 1907).
