Female on Eryngium
amethystinum, dirty from burrowing into the ground. Golec, Lukovec, Kras,
August 2006. |
Andrena decipiens Schenck, 1861 Mediterranean species. In the sub-Mediterranean and
sub-Pannonian regions of Slovenia. Polylectic species (pers. obs.), visiting Allium, Apiaceae and Fabaceae. Nests in burrows in the
ground, excavated by itself. Bivoltine, but Schuberth (1995) presumes that the spring
generation is a distinct species, A.
flavilabris. The specimens from Podčetrtek (sub-Pannonian r.), found
in April, would belong to this species, flying from April to June. Males
found in October near Sočerga in Istria also correspond well to the
description of this species. But specimens flying in Istria and Karst
(sub-Mediterranean r.) in July and August are true A. decipiens. |
