Andrena breviceps

Description. Female: Body length 8.5 - 9 mm (Fig. 83). Head: Black, clearly wider than long (Fig. 84). Clypeus broad, arched, with large punctures, punctures separated by one puncture diameter except for a central slightly raised impunctate line, underlying surface uneven, slightly but irregularly raised between punctures, shining. Process of labrum broadly trapezoidal, fore margin weakly emarginate. Gena as wide as width of compound eye. Gena, vertex, face, and scape with moderately dense white hairs, longest of these not exceeding length of the scape. Foveae moderately broad, occupying 2 / 3 of distance between the of compound eye and lateral ocellus, of normal length, not extending below the level of the antennal insertions. Antennae bright, scape and pedicel dark, A 3 apically marked with orange, A 4 - 12 predominantly orange, A 3 exceeding A 4 + 5, shorter than A 4 + 5 + 6. Ocelloccipital distance short, 1 / 2 width of lateral ocellus. Mesosoma: Scutum and scutellum moderately punctured, punctures separated by 1 - 2 puncture diameters, underlying surface shiny, very weakly shagreened laterally and anteriorly (Fig. 85). Margins of scutum and scutellum with short, dense whitish hairs, these extending only very sparsely onto the disc. Episternum and propodeum microreticulate, dull, propodeum with weak rugosity, propodeal triangle defined with small but clear slightly raised carina, propodeal triangle with sparse and weak rugosity centrally. Episternum and propodeum with white hairs, longest not exceeding length of the scape. Legs dark, tarsi lightened brown, pubescence whitish to brownish. Femoral and tibial scopa white. Wings hyaline, venation and stigma brown. Nervulus antefurcal. Metasoma: Tergites brownish, margins slightly depressed, lightened white to yellow, apically translucent (Fig. 86). Tergites densely, evenly, and finely punctate, punctures separated by one puncture diameter, underlying surface very weakly shagreened, shining. T 1 with two small lateral hair patches of white hair on apical margin, T 2 - 4 apically with complete white hair bands obscuring underlying surface. T 5 - 6 with golden hairs flanking pygidial plate. Pygidial plate rounded triangular, flat, without raised margin. Male. Unknown.
