description: Andrena (Micrandrena) sillata Warncke, 1975
Distribution: Greece, Turkey (Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002). Newly recorded from Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank. Warncke (1974c) mentions the species is limited to high elevations (above 1300 m); in Israel, however, it can be found even below 1000 m. Krainov (2013) mentions this species from western Siberia in Russia, which is unlikely.
Flight period: February-May (Israel), April–June (Turkey, Warncke 1974c).
Flower records: Rosaceae: Prunus dulcis, Pyrus syriaca; Sapindaceae: Acer monspessulanum.
