Description

Andrena (Cryptandrena) ventricosa Dours, 1873

Distribution: Southern Europe, North Africa and the Near East (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002).

New data: PORTUGAL: Alto Alentejo, Foros de Vale Figueira, Montemor-o-Novo, 20.iii.2019, 1♀, det. and leg. Wood.

Notes: Nomada tridentirostris Dours, 1873, the brood parasite of A. ventricosa (Smit 2018), has been recorded in Portugal since 2014 (Baldock 2018), so the presence of the widespread A. ventricosa is not unexpected.
