Andrena (Truncandrena) medeninensis Pérez, 1985 View in CoL donata Warncke, 1967

Distribution: Iberia, North Africa, Cyprus and Turkey, with subspecies donata restricted to Iberia ( Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002).

New data: PORTUGAL: Alto Alentejo , Reguengos , Cerros, near to Restaurante Herdade do Esporão, 21–22.iii.2019, 1♀, det. Wood, leg. C. Figueiredo.

Notes: There are major differences between the subspecies of A. medeninensis described by Warncke, though for now they are all united in the female under the distinctive arched but broadly flattened clypeus that is densely punctured with the exception of a clear longitudinal unpunctate midline in combination with an evenly triangular labrum. This potential species complex requires further investigation.
