FIGURE 3. A. Andrena fulica Warncke, 1974 male, habitus in lateral view. The taxonomic review of Wood et al. (2020b) shows that the taxon Andrena astrella Warncke, 1975 is a junior synonym of this species. B. A. fulica male, frontal view of the head. C. Andrena assimilis Radoszkowski, 1876 female, habitus in lateral view. The taxonomic review of Wood & Monfared (2022) shows that the taxon Andrena gallica Schmiedeknecht, 1883 is a junior synonym of this species. D. A. assimilis female, frontal view of the head. E. Andrena bimaculata (Kirby, 1802) female, habitus in lateral view. Unpublished data from T.J.
