Pubescence of face including clypeus and lower parts of vertex, as well as disc of scutum and scutellum blackish­brown (pubescence yellowish­grey). Pubescence of T bright brownish (whitish­grey).

Andrena susanneae is placed in subgenus Larandrena by the combination of the following characters: Propodeal corbicula of females with strongly developed anterior and dorsoposterior hairfringe; LP of females with few simple hairs; male clypeus with yellowish coloration; shape of male genitalia, S7 and S8; gonocoxite of male genitalia with distinctly developed dorsal lobes; penis valve of male genitalia with distinct dorsolateral and ventrolateral lamella. Within Larandrena the new species is most similar to Andrena (Larandrena) echizenia Hirashima &amp; Haneda, 1973 from Japan, from which it can be distinguished by the following characters (character states of A. echizenia in parentheses): FOV broad, about twice as wide as OD (narrow, about 1.4 times OD); no interspace between FOV and inner margin of compound eye developed (FOV and inner margin of compound eye separated by distinct smooth interspace); scutum on disc partly smooth and shiny, with distinct strong punctation (tesselate all over, punctation weak, indistinct); apical hair fringes of T2–4 strongly developed, nearly complete on T2 and 3 (weakly developed, broadly interrupted on T2 and 3); prepygidial and pygidial fimbria bright yellowish­grey (prepygidial and pygidial fimbria brownish); clypeus of male completely yellow (black with irregular yellow maculation in the middle); pubescence of head in the male uniformly bright grey (lateral parts of face, as well as dorsal parts of genal area with dark brownish pubescence); AS 3 of male about as long as AS 4 (AS 3 about 1.3 times longer than AS 4). From the transpalearctic A. ventralis the new species is easily distinguished by the absence of distinct interspace between FOV and inner margin of compound eye and the absence of distinct wrinkles on the DLP in the females and by the length of AS 3 in the males.</p><p>Etymology.

A. heinzi is placed in subgenus Simandrena by the following characters: Propodeal corbicula of females with distinct anterior and dorsoposterior hair fringe; LP of females completely bare; flocculus of trochanter of hind leg consisting of long and dense fringe of strongly curled hairs; clypeus of males dark coloured; shape of male genitalia, S7 and S8; penis valve of male genitalia without lateral lamella. Within subgenus Simandrena, the new species is most similar to the Central Asian A. (Simandrena) sarta Morawitz, 1876, and the western palearctic species A. (Simandrena) mehelyi Alfken, 1936 and A. (Simandrena) combinata (Christ, 1791) . It can be distinguished from A. sarta by the following characters (character states of A. sarta given in parentheses; all characters listed below refer to females only, because no males of A. sarta were available for comparison): clypeus strongly tessellated on disc, dull (smooth and shiny on disc); hind margin of vertex rounded (carinate); distance from hind margin of LO to hind margin of vertex about 1.5 times OD (nearly as wide (0.8 times) as LO); scutum and scutellum distinctly tesselate, weakly shiny on disc (weakly tesselate to smooth, strongly shiny); punctation on T more fine and dispersed (punctation more coarse and dense); pubescence of head, lateral parts of thorax and apical hair fringes of metasoma yellowish­grey (whitish); pubescence of scutum, scutellum and metanotum bright yellowish brown of medium­length (whitish, short); only apical hair fringes of T3 and 4 complete, apical fringe of T2 broadly interrupted (apical hair fringes complete on T2–4); distal tarsal segments of front leg, apical part of tibia and tarsus of mid leg, as well as tibia and tarsi of hind leg, bright yellowish­brown (blackish­brown); AS 5– AS 12 bright yellowish­brown on underside (dark brownish). The new species can be separated from A. mehelyi and A. combinata as follows (character states of A. mehelyi and A. combinata given in parentheses): AS 5– AS 12 of female yellowish­brown on underside (blackish­brown); male AS 3 about 1.2 times as long as broad, distinctly longer (1.4 times) than AS 4 (AS 3 as long as broad, slightly shorter (0.9 times) than AS 4); clypeus with impunctate median line (female), transverse wrinkles absent in both sexes (impuctate median line absent, strong transverse wrinkles developed); FOV broad, about 2.9 times OD (distinctly narrower, 2.6 times OD); PT of female with few wrinkles basally, mainly granulate (nearly completely coarsely wrinkled, only apically granulate); tarsi of all legs and hind tibia yellowish in female (blackish); lateroapical hair fringes of T1 and laterobasal hair fringes of T2 absent in female (distinctly developed); prepygidial, as well as pygidial fimbria, bright yellowishgrey (greyish­brown); punctation on T minute, dense in both sexes (coarse, honeycombed); dorsal lobe of gonocoxite weakly developed (absent).</p><p>Etymology. This species is named in honor of my beloved father Heinz Dubitzky for his wonderful support during the duration of my studies and for his broad interest in the natural world.</p><p>Type material.
