Diagnosis, data on localities, biology, and general distribution of the species are provided. One female and five males were caught on a mowed fresh meadow and fallow fields with the use of water pan-traps (Moericke traps), during the 2003 - 2004 time period. The main morphological characteristics distinguishing Andrena florivaga from the very similar Andrena dorsalis Brullé, 1832 species and from the other species of the subgenus Lepidandrena are: in the case of females - the width of facial foveae and colouration of legs, and in the case of males - the length of the first flagellar segment, colouration of clypeus, and pubescence of gonostyles. Andrena florivaga can be found from France in the west, to Central Siberia (Baikal lake region) in the east, and Turkey in the south. Poland is the northernmost locality of the species.

NUMBER 2 2 24 AUGUST I7, I 965 The Biology and Immature Stages of Melitturga clavicornis (Latreille) and of Sphecodes albilabris (Kirby) and the Recognition of the Oxaeidae at the Family Level (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) BYJEROME G. ROZEN, JR.' Michener (1944) divided the andrenid subfamily Panurginae into two tribes, the Panurgini and Melitturgini, with the latter containing the single Old World genus Melitturga. This genus was relegated to tribal status apparently on the grounds that the adults, unlike those of other panurgines, bear certain striking resemblances to the essentially Neo- tropical Oxaeinae of the same family. In 1951 Rozen showed that the male genitalia of Melitturga are unlike those of the Oxaeinae and are not only typical of those of the Panurginae in general but quite like those of the Camptopoeum-Panurgus-Panurginus-Epimethea complex within the sub- family. On the basis of this information, Michener (1954a) abandoned the idea that the genus Melitturga represents a distinct tribe of the Panur- ginae. Recently evidence in the form of the larva of Protoxaea gloriosa Fox (Rozen, 1965) suggested that the Oxaeinae were so unlike other Andreni- dae that they should be removed from the family unless some form inter- 1 Chairman and Associate Curator, Department of Entomology, the American Museum of Natural History. 2 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 2224 mediate between the two subfamilies is found.

Introduction In the Afrotropical region the family Andrenidae is represented by more than 30 species (EARDLEY & URBAN 2010). The Eritrean fauna of of the family Andrenidae is poorly known. The knowledge is based on the material collected by J.K. Lord in 1869 and by P. Magretti in 1900. No further material is known. Up to date two species each of the subfamilies Andreninae (genus Andrena FABRICIUS, 1775) and Panurginae (genera Borgatomelissa PATINY, 2000 and Meliturgula FRIESE, 1903) have been recorded from Eritrea.

Journal of Hymenoptera Research 77: 87–103. https://doi.org/10.3897/jhr.77.53704 Abstract A new species of Andrena Fabricius, 1775, subgenus Trachandrena Robertson, 1902 is described and illus- trated, A. hadfieldi sp. nov., from Arizona, United States. The new species, presently known only from the female holotype, was collected in a Malaise trap in 1994, and remained unstudied until recently. In addition, Trachandrena is compared to similar subgenera in North America to assist in recognizing new members. Keywords Bee, new species, Trachandrena, North America, Arizona Introduction Andrena Fabricius, 1775 is one of the largest genera of bees, with 1,556 species (Ascher and Pickering 2020). Dubitzky et al. (2010) estimated that there are likely ca 2,000 species, suggesting there are many undescribed species, especially in Mesoamerica and in the dry regions of Central Asia. Though the genus is mainly Holarctic, it extends into Mesoamerica, parts of Africa and tropical Asia (Michener 2007). The subgenus Trachandrena Robertson, 1902 is represented by 30 species glob- ally (Gusenleitner and Schwarz 2002; Michener 2007), 24 of which occur in the Copyright Cory S.

Observations were established, lasting 8 hours daily, during different periods from 2009 to 2015. Bees and plants, after preparation, were identified and registered in a database. We sampled 3,073 bees, all of which 1042 were wild native species. The collected bees are included in 34 species and 44 morphospecies (Halictinae-35, Megachilinae-17, Apinae non corbiculate-15, Apinae corbiculate- 10, Andreninae-1). With the exception of Apis mellifera, the most abundant bee taxa sampled were Trigona spinipes (330 individuals), Xylocopa brasilianorum (92) and Pseudaugochlora graminea (92). Euglossini females and species poorly sampled in inventories such as Leiopodus lacertinus, Thygater (Thygater) armandoi, Anthodioctes megachiloides and Coelioxys aculeaticeps were captured. The bees were sampled over 83 botanical species of 38 families. The most visited botanical families were Lamiaceae and Asteraceae. The richness of the studied area is lower than those of other nearby compared places, indicating probably a decrease of the apifauna. The found diversity previews the place as a possible refuge.
