3.1.6.6. Andrena ( Micrandrena) simontornyella Noskiewicz, 1939

Remarks.

Warncke (1969), Grace (2010), Wood et al. (2020) and Boustani et al. 2021 mention this species from Israel and / or Lebanon. The single female mentioned by Wood et al. and Boustani et al. was reidentified as A. aspera sp. nov. We could not locate any of the specimens mentioned by Warncke, but we assume he also confused this species with similar local taxa such as A. aspera , A. cervina , A. phoenicia sp. nov. or A. stolida .
