Abstract :
[en] Using a combination of DNA barcodes and morphology, we examine species boundaries in bees of the genus Andrena subgenus Taeniandrena in Europe. First, we solve the long controversy surrounding the status of Andrena ovatula (Kirby, 1802) and A. albofasciata Thomson, 1870, proposed to represent distinct species nearly 100 years ago, but mostly treated as conspecific in recent studies. Our results unambiguously support the presence of two taxa that are often found in sympatry: the first taxon, referred to as A. ovatula, is present in Northern Europe but also in Southern Europe along the Mediterranean coast; the second taxon is referred to as A. afzeliella (Kirby, 1802), stat. rev., with A. albofasciata considered to be a junior synonym (syn. nov.), and is widely distributed in Europe. Second, we show that another widely distributed species has hitherto been overlooked in Europe: A. ovata Schenck, 1853, stat. rev. Third, we demonstrate that two taxa currently treated as subspecies should be given specific rank due to significant morphological and genetic differences: A. croceiventris Morawitz, 1871, stat. rev., so far treated as a subspecies of A. similis Smith, 1849, and A. vocifera Warncke, 1975, stat. nov., so far treated as a subspecies of A. gelriae van der Vecht, 1927. Both A. croceiventris and A. vocifera have particularly restricted ranges in Europe, being known only from central to southern Italy and Sicily, and continental France, respectively. Fourth, we describe a new species from Sardinia and Corsica, A. antonellae sp. nov. Lastly, the following new synonymies are proposed: A. similis, A. ocreata cyprisina Warncke, 1975 and A. similis caraimica Osytshnjuk, 1994 are placed in synonymy with A. russula Lepeletier, 1841 (syn. nov.); A. fuscata (Kirby, 1802), A. canescens Schenck, 1853 and A. pseudovatula Alfken, 1926 are placed in synonymy with A. afzeliella (syn. nov.). Lectotypes are designated for A. afzeliella, A. fuscata (Kirby, 1802), A. ovata and A. wilkella (Kirby, 1802). Our results suggest a particularly fast diversification in this group of bees, leading to the presence of numerous species exhibiting particularly restricted geographic ranges. We discuss the implications for conservation of this astonishing cryptic diversity in European bees.

Unexpected levels of cryptic diversity in European bees of the genus Andrena subgenus Taeniandrena (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae): implications for conservation
This study is dedicated to Jane van der Smissen, whose long commitment in the careful study of a local bee fauna has presciently led to the recognition of two closely related species long before genetic data could be used. Felix Amiet kindly donated specimens identified by Jane van der Smissen for genetic analysis. Gideon Pisanty and Sophie Cardinal made two barcodes of A. afzeliella available for this study. We thank Mike Herrmann, Paolo Rosa, Christian Schmid-Egger and Jessica Litman for discussions on earlier versions of this manuscript.

Molecular work and databasing of French specimens were performed within the “inventaire du patrimoine naturel (inpn.mnhn.fr)” project with funding from UMS PatriNat (special thanks to Pascal Dupont) to DG.

We also thank Esther Ockermüller (OLML), Jennifer Steppler (SMFD), Stefanie Krause (ZMHB), and Agnièle Touret-Alby (MNHN) for their help accessing their respective collections.
