Abstract

A new species of Andrena Fabricius, 1775,<br> subgenus Trachandrena Robertson, 1902 is described and illustrated, A. hadfieldisp. nov., from Arizona, United States. The new species, presently known only from the female holotype, was collected in a Malaise trap in 1994, and remained unstudied until recently. In addition, Trachandrena is compared to similar subgenera in North America to assist in recognizing new members.
