Andrena (Micrandrena) obsoleta Pérez, 1895

Remarks. This taxon has been deeply confused in the literature due to an incorrect lectotype designation by Warncke and subsequent incorrect interpretation. This was resolved by Wood (2023a) who designated a new lectotype, and synonymised Andrena mariana solda Warncke, 1974 with A. obsoleta . Andrena mariana solda was the taxon present in Italy (Sicily only, Warncke 1974), resulting in the listing of Andrena mariana by Comba (2019) [species 63], see also the distribution maps of Gusenleitner & Schwarz (2002). Andrena obsoleta thus replaces A. mariana solda in the Italian fauna.
