“…Originally described from central Spain ( Warncke 1967 ) but found also in Tunisia ( Warncke 1980 ) and the Near East ( Warncke 1969 , 1976 ), the species was recently reported from Algeria ( Benarfa et al 2013 ). The presence of this species in Morocco continues to fill in the distributional gap across North Africa between Spain and the Near East.…”

“…Andrena are the second most speciose genus of bees worldwide after Lasioglossum (Ascher and Pickering 2020). The genus has a primarily Holarctic distribution and with the greatest diversity found in Mediterranean and xeric regions (Gusenleitner and Schwarz 2002).…”

“…The Andrena fauna of this region was later revised by Warncke (1967 , 1974 , 1980 , 1983 ) who described many new species. Since then there has been relatively little work conducted on North African Andrena until recently ( Scheuchl 2009 ; Scheuchl et al 2011 ; Benarfa et al 2013 ; Cherair et al 2013 ; Schwenninger 2015 ; Djouama et al 2016 ) as interest in the conservation, ecology, and taxonomy of wild bees has increased. However, nothing on the taxonomy of Andrena in Morocco has been published since 1980 ( Warncke 1980 ), and a critical reappraisal of this rich fauna is therefore warranted.…”

Morocco has a diverse bee fauna, but one that has also been relatively understudied in recent years. Here a revision of the species-rich genus Andrena is presented that reveals eleven new species for science and substantially improves our understanding of North African Andrena. From Morocco, Andrena (Aciandrena) semiadesus Wood, sp. nov., Andrena (Aciandrena) triangulivalvis Wood sp. nov., Andrena (Campylogaster) sparsipunctata Wood sp. nov., Andrena (Carandrena) hebescens Wood sp. nov., Andrena (Cnemidandrena) niveofacies Wood sp. nov., Andrena (incertae sedis) tenebricorpus Wood sp. nov., Andrena (Notandrena) acutidentis Wood sp. nov., Andrena (Poliandrena) breviceps Wood sp. nov., and Andrena (Poliandrena) farinosoides Wood sp. nov. are described and their ecology is discussed. Andrena (Aciandrena) astrella Warncke, 1975 is synonymised with Andrena (Aciandrena) fulica Warncke, 1974 syn. nov. The unknown female of Andrena (Nobandrena) ounifa Warncke, 1974, and the unknown male of Andrena (Poliandrena) guichardi Warncke, 1980 are described. Andrena (incertae sedis) gafsensis Wood sp. nov. from Tunisia is described due to its similarity to Andrena tenebricorpus. Andrena (Poecilandrena) nigriclypeus Wood sp. nov. from Algeria is also described as it was collected within 10 km of the Moroccan border. A further 18 species are recorded in Morocco for the first time. Andrena (Melandrena) nitida (Müller, 1776) and Andrena (Notandrena) nitidiuscula Schenck, 1853 are removed from the Moroccan list due to historic problems in the application of these names to Mediterranean taxa.

“…Djouama et al (2017) noted that Andrena concentrated their floral visits on the two botanical families, Brassicaceae and Asteraceae. Benarfa et al (2013) only recorded Brassicaceae. The most highly represented botanical family of therophyte in Algeria is Asteraceae.…”

Between 2015 and 2017 we conducted a survey on Apoidea (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) and their distribution in several regions of northern Algeria. Among these pollinating insects captured on natural and cultivated vegetation we found four 1new species of Apoidea fauna for Algeria. These previously unreported species belonged to two families: Andrenidae and Megachilidae. We include a taxaxonomic list of the species recorded, together with their geographical distribution, altitude where found, habitat, flight periods, and flowers visited. A fifth species that was known to exist but was not documented has also been added to the list. list.

“…For example, Aguib, Louadi, and Schwarz (2010) reported new taxa from Algeria including Anthidium florentinum Fabricius 1775, Pseudoanthidium enslini (Alfken 1928), and Stelis similima (Morawitz 1876). The family Andrenidae has been studied by Benarfa, Louadi, and Scheuchl (2013); Cherair, Scheuchl, Doumandji, and Louadi, (2013); Djouama, Louadi, andScheuchl (2016), and.

Background More than 20,000 species in the superfamily Apoidea have been identified worldwide. This superfamily includes the most important group of insect pollinators that contribute to the integrity of ecosystems. Main body We have gathered in this paper data from many previous works in Northern Africa and Middle East regions. Some of these data are date from many years ago and others are recent. We present here a non-exhaustive list of some common Apoid species. In addition, certain previous studies that were published and other current research opportunities were suggested. Conclusion Although there are many bee experts in the Arab world, i.e., in apiculture, however, a few researchers are interested in melittology even though it seems that this region represents a large bee diversity.
