Andrena (Cryptandrena) rotundata Perez, 1895

Material examined.

Morocco: Fès-Meknès, Bhalil, 10 km NW Sefrou, 28.v.1995, 1♀, leg. Ma. Halada; Fès-Meknès, El-Menzel, 30 km E Sefrou, 29.v.1995, 2♀, leg. Mi. Halada, all OÖLM.

Distribution and remarks.

Known from Algeria, Italy (Sardinia), and Tunisia ( Gusenleitner and Schwarz 2002). This species is very similar to A. ventricosa Dours, 1873 but differs by the less dense scutal punctures. Given the very slight differences between A. rotundata , A. ventricosa , and the more eastern A. brumanensis Friese, 1899, this group could benefit from molecular examination.
