90. Andrena (Andrena) lapponica Zetterstedt, 1838 View in CoL *

DISTRIBUTION. From northern Europe (Scandinavia) south to the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula, central Europe, Romania, and eastwards into Russia ( GUSENLEITNER & SCHWARZ, 2002; TOMOZII, 2010).

MATERIAL EXAMINED. BULGARIA: • 1♂, Pirin-Begovica , 1500 m, 9.v.2010, leg. P. Pacholátko, OÖLM ; • 2♀, Sandanski, 26–31.v.1967, leg. Kocourek, OÖLM ;

NORTH MACEDONIA: • 1♂, 2♀, Mount Kožuf , Smrdliva Voda, 1750 m, 7–8.v.2017, leg. K. Deneš , OÖLM; • 1♀, Mount Titov , Popova Shapka [Popova Šapka], 8.v.2017, K. Deneš , OÖLM.

NOTE. These records extend the range of A. lapponica further south into the mountains of the southern Balkans. It is polylectic with a strong preference for Ericaceae ( MÜLLER, 2018) and is presumably restricted to these mountainous areas with a cooler temperature profile and plant communities that are more similar to central and northern Europe. It is also newly recorded for North Macedonia *.
