Andrena (Cnemidandrena) granulitergorum Tadauchi & Xu, 2002: 97 View in CoL , ♀ [ China, IZAS, not examined].

Material examined

INDIA • 1 ♂; Darjeeling; Juni [likely June 1902]; H. Fruhstorfer leg.; NMW • 1 ♀; Rungaroom [Darjeeling]; [undated]; C.T. Bingham leg.; ZMHB • 1 ♀; Sikkim; [undated]; C.T. Bingham leg.; ZMHB .

Remarks

Wood (2024b) described the male of A. granulitergorum , and reported it from Nepal for the first time. Examination of material in the NMW collection revealed another male specimen, this time from the northern part of West Bengal. It was collected by Hans Fruhstorfer (1866–1922), a German explorer, insect trader, and entomologist. Between 1899–1902, he went on a three year round the world expedition through North America and Eastern Asia, returning via India. We therefore estimate that this specimen was collected in 1902. There were also two specimens from this region collected by Bingham, but the specimens are undated. It can be estimated that the specimens were collected in the 1890s based on Bingham’s most active collecting period.

Distribution

India * (West Bengal, Sikkim), Nepal, and China (Sichuan, Yunnan) ( Tadauchi & Xu 2002; Wood 2024).
