Notes: Hurd (1979), Litt (1998), and Westrich (2019) considered this naturally Holarctic, colorful, earlyflying vernal species to be a specialist of willow ( Salix ). Studies of willow-visiting Andrena in New Brunswick found it to be a predominant species (Mosseler et al. 2020; Ostaff et al. 2015), and Falk & Lewington (2015), in the United Kingdom, note that, “Pollen is obtained almost exclusively from willows,” assessments in accordance with our observations. In Connecticut, females of this species are known to visit willow ( Salix spp. ) in habitats such as hardwood forests, acidic bogs, and inland riparian habitats in the northern part of the state.
