Distribution.

So far only known from southern France between the Drôme and the Landes departments (Fig. 55 View Figure 55 ).

Pollen preferences.

Unknown.

Phenology.

Presumably univoltine with one generation from the end of May until the end of June.

Note.

The map presented for Andrena gelriae s. l. in Gusenleitner and Schwarz (2002: 1050), reflecting Warncke’s concept of this group of species, gives the impression that A. gelriae sensu stricto is absent from southern France. This statement is contradicted by our report of two typical males of A. gelriae sensu stricto in Southern France approximately 100 km south of some records of A. vocifera (Fig. 55 View Figure 55 ). This range overlap, in addition to the strong morphological differences between A. gelriae and A. vocifera , as well as the distinct DNA barcodes of both taxa, makes it clear that A. vocifera represents a separate species. Warncke (1975a) 's indication that the female of A. gelriae vocifera does not show any difference compared to that of A. gelriae suggests that the female specimen that he examined was not conspecific with the male holotype.

Diagnosis.

Female. The female of A. vocifera is unique among all European Taniandrena for the dense and coarse punctation of the terga, and for the shiny, hardly shagreened underlying sculpture (Figs 17 View Figures 17, 18 , 27 View Figures 27, 28 ). It is approximately 11 mm long, the vestiture is orange on the vertex, the upper parts of the face, the scutum and the scutellum, and yellowish white on the clypeus and the sides of the mesosoma. The flocculus is whitish, the scopa yellowish orange and the terminal fringe orange (Fig. 17 View Figures 17, 18 ), as in A. gelriae . There is a small, white hairband laterally on T1, and a dense white hairband on T2-T4, the hairband is interrupted medially on T2 and only slightly narrowed medially on T3 (Figs 17 View Figures 17, 18 , 27 View Figures 27, 28 ). The integument is black, except parts of the tarsi of the mid legs, the hind tibiae and tarsi, which are orange.

Male. This species can be identified by the genital structure, with a comparatively broad valve (width = 1.5 × diameter of lateral ocellus) with long, parallel-sided base (Fig. 53 View Figures 45–54 ); the internal margins of the gonocoxae are not diverging, and the gonostyli are more elongate than in A. afzeliella . The antennae are as in A. gelriae , with A3 distinctly shorter than A4 (Fig. 43 View Figures 35–44 ). The tergal discs are shiny and coarsely punctate, their basis and the tergal margin strongly impressed, so that the disc is convex (Fig. 71 View Figures 70–71 ); in A. gelriae , the sculpture of the tergal discs is less shiny, more finely punctate, and the basis is not strongly impressed (Fig. 70 View Figures 70–71 ). In A. vocifera , the entire vestiture is yellowish brown, the integument is dark except the tarsi of the hind legs.
