Ukraine, Rivne region, on May 6.
This individual was found on a forest road, looking for something among the forest litter.
Is it possible to determine the type of Nomada from these photos. I will also be happy to link to the forum where Hymenoptera is identified.
Hi Victor, I think it could be N. panzeri or the very similar ruficornis. It would help, if you could find it's host:
panzeri: Andrena varians, helvola, synadelpha, fucata, lapponica
ruficornis: A. haemorrhoa https://www.wildb...-npanz.htm (in German)
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner
Thank you very much, Eric !
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, the probable nests were on the sand under the fallen leaves and I did not notice Andren in that area, but I know that a little blueberry grows nearby.
.I met Andrena haemorrhoa here, but in a different habitat.
The hips look less dark and the tergite pattern tells me what it should be N. panzeri ...

Does someone has a scan of Nartshuk E.P. 2003. Key to families of Diptera (Insecta) of the fauna of Russian and adjacent countries. Proceedings of the Zoological Institute Vol. 294: 1-252 for me?
