The fauna of <em>Andrena</em> was largely revised in the 1970s, but since then, it has received little attention. Molecular investigation of the taxonomically challenging subgenus <em>Taeniandrena</em> has revealed that the situation is more complicated than previously thought with several cryptic and overlooked species. From the species allied to <em>Andrena</em> (<em>T. </em>) <em>gelriae</em> van der Vecht, 1927, <em>Andrena</em> (<em>T. </em>) <em>gredana</em> Warncke, 1975 stat. nov. from Spain and Portugal is raised to species status, and <em>Andrena</em> (<em>T. </em>) <em>levante</em> Wood &amp; Praz sp. nov. from southeastern Spain is newly described. Furthermore, <em>Andrena</em> (<em>T. </em>) <em>benoisti</em> Wood &amp; Praz sp. nov. is described, having previously been referred to as <em>Andrena</em> (<em>T. </em>) <em>wilkella beaumonti</em> Benoist, 1961. <em>Andrena</em> (<em>T. </em>) <em>beaumonti</em> stat. rev. is itself distinct and restricted to the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Outside of the subgenus <em>Taeniandrena</em>, <em>Andrena</em> (<em>Euandrena</em>) <em>fortipunctata</em> Wood sp. nov. and Andrena (<em>Charitandrena</em>) hattorfiana nigricauda Wood subsp. nov. are described from Spain, and <em>Andrena</em> (<em>Notandrena</em>) <em>juliana</em> Wood sp. nov. is described from Spain and Portugal. The male of <em>Andren</em>a (<em>Lepidandrena</em>) <em>baetica</em> Wood, 2020 is also described. <em>Andrena</em> (<em>Euandrena</em>) <em>impressa</em> Warncke, 1967 stat. nov. is raised to species status, displaying a West Mediterranean distribution. Finally, a further two species of <em>Andrena</em> are newly recorded for Spain, <em>Andrena laurivora</em> Warncke, 1974 and <em>Andrena confinis</em> Stoeckhert, 1930. Altogether, these findings reinforce the fact that our understanding of the taxonomy and distribution of <em>Andrena</em> in southern Europe remains incomplete.</p>}, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Wood, Thomas J. and Ghisbain, Guillaume and Michez, Denis and Praz, Christophe J.}, year={2021}, month={Jul.}, pages={147-193} }
