Andrena (Cnemidandrena) simillima Smith, 1851 View in CoL

Remarks. Listed by Comba (2019) [species 55] citing Comba & Comba (2001), Hellrigl (2006), and Kuhlmann et al. (2015). Given the relatively recent separation of A. freygessneri from A. simillima ( Ebmer 2001) , it is likely that all of these records refer to A. freygessneri . All examined Italian material in this former species complex belongs to A. freygessneri (see above). True A. simillima is extremely rare in Central Europe ( Ockermüller et al. 2021), and its presence should be positively confirmed in Italy based on verified specimens in the light of the separation of A. freygessneri .
