Counties: Aitkin, Anoka, Becker, Big Stone, Brown, Carver, Chisago, Clay, Clearwater, Dakota, Douglas, Freeborn, Hennepin, Houston, Isanti, Jackson, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Lac qui Parle, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Le Sueur, Lyon, Mahnomen, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Norman, Pine, Pipestone, Polk, Pope, Ramsey, Redwood, Renville, Roseau, Saint Louis, Scott, Sibley, Stearns, Steele, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Waseca, Washington, Watonwan, Wilkin, Winona, Wright .

Comments: This non-native species of Palearctic origin is quite abundant, particularly in disturbed habitats. Praz et al. (2022) recently described cryptic species in the subgenus Taeniandrena in the native range of A. wilkella; based on morphological characters, Minnesota specimens continue to match A. wilkella as defined by Praz et al. (2022).
