5. Andrena (Truncandrena) albopicta Radoszkowski, 1874

Literature records.

Gusenleitner and Schwarz (2002: dot map 18); Grace (2010); Augul (2018); Ascher and Pickering (2023).

Remarks.

We have not examined any specimens of this species, but the presence of this species in Iraq is plausible: the species is present in south-eastern Turkey (see specimen records presented by Wood and Monfared 2022), and the dot map presented by Gusenleitner and Schwarz (2002) seems to indicate the presence of this species in northern Iraq. It is therefore tentatively accepted as present.

Distribution.

Turkey, Armenia, Iraq, Iran ( Gusenleitner and Schwarz 2002; Ascher and Pickering 2023), note that previous records from European Russia were erroneous, see Proshchalykin et al. (2023).
