Abstract: 14. Andrena (Melandrena) nigroaenea (Kirby, 1802) Listed by Meena & Dey (2019): Bihar. Remarks The listing of A. nigroaenea in India may come from a misidentified A. induta; for example, Bingham (1908: 363) in the description of the junior synonym A. brunneipennis mentioned that it was: “Nearest to probably a race of the European A. nigroaenea, Kirby, but larger; the colour of the pubescence and of the wings different”. Andrena nigroaenea is a West Palaearctic species, with no records from Central Asia (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002; Osytshnjuk et al. 2008). The listing from Bihar is not considered to be plausible, and the species is excluded from the Indian fauna.
