Andrena (Plastandrena) cypricola Mavromoustakis, 1952

Synonym of Andrena tibialis ( Kirby, 1802) . Andrena cypricola was listed at the species rank by Gusenleitner & Schwarz (2002) and Varnava et al. (2020) but we do not consider this to be justified given the lack of variation in the genital capsule. Moreover, given the problems of introgression within the subgenus Plastandrena , detailed genetic work is needed before to be confident that additional taxa exist outside of the ‘core’ Plastandrena taxa.
