Andrena (Micrandrena) strohmella Stöckhert, 1928

Andrena strohmella Stöckhert 1928:244 Diagnosis. Individuals of this species are easily recognized by the weak fold on each side of T1, and by the dense and yellow pubescence of the body.

Comment. A. strohmella is easily recognized by the lateral fold of T1, a feature absent in other species of the subgenus Andrena (Micrandrena) from the Iberian Peninsula. Previously, A. strohmella was reported only in northwestern France; however, with the specimen from Tarragona, Spain, the distribution is now widened to the Iberian Peninsula. The individual from the Iberian Peninsula presents an facial fovea that is slightly shorter than the other individuals of A. strohmella that have been examined, although, the lateral folds of T1 are evident and certainly correspond to this species.
