Notes.

One female specimen from Lesbos included in our genetic study (specimen 1254) is morphologically distinct from both A. pileata stat. n. and Andrena sp1 and is referred to as Andrena sp2. In the female sex, it is similar to Andrena sp1, except that the clypeus lacks the longitudinal impression (Suppl. material 4: Fig. S17) observed in Andrena sp1, the mesonotum is more densely punctate, the terga are more shiny (disc of T1 and T2 nearly completely shiny; Suppl. material 4: Fig. S16) and more clearly punctate. The mesonotum has grey-brown vestiture, the hairs are weakly plumose, there are a few long dark hairs on the mesonotum and numerous dark hairs on the propodeum. The scopa is yellowish white, in contrast to Andrena sp1. Male unknown.

Examined material.

2 females from two localities on the Island of Lesbos, Greece (Suppl. material 1).
