Andrena (Suandrena) leucocyanea Pérez, 1895

Literature records.

Dylewska (1983).

Remarks.

Dylewska (1983: 22) revised members of the subgenus Suandrena Warncke, 1968 , mentioning A. leucocyanea from Iraq from Abu Ghuraib [= Abu Ghraib] and Dewania [= Al Diwaniyah]. Given the many taxonomic changes that have occurred in this subgenus since 1983 (e. g., Kratochwil 2021; Pisanty et al. 2022 a) and its difficulty of identification, it is unclear what these specimens might actually be. Consequently, we exclude this species from the Iraqi fauna pending inspection of material in light of the currently accepted taxonomic framework for this subgenus.
