E. 1967. A revision of the bees of the genus Andrena of the Western Hemisphere. Part I. Callandrena (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae). Bulletin of the University of Nebraska State Museum 7: 1-316. Please report text errors to: leah at discoverlife dot org. A. duplicata is the only species of the aureocincta group of Callandrena to occur in eastern United States. It is related to simulata in the yellow male clypeus, but differs in both sexes from simulata in the denser shagreening or tessellation of the thoracic dorsum and the darker integument of the terga and legs as described below. The female of duplicata has the hair of the thoracic dorsum dense and hiding the surface as in amarilla but has the facial foveae shorter as in simulata. The male differs from that of simulata in the shortness of the first flagellar segment. FEMALE.

TYPE MATERIAL. — The holotype (NCSU) female and allotype (NCSU) male of duplicata from Marion, North Carolina, were collected August 29, 1929, by T. B. Mitchell. DISTRIBUTION. — A. duplicata is known to occur from North Carolina north to New Jersey and west to northeastern Missouri. It has been collected from August 15th through October 29th. In addition to the holotype and allotype, 22 females and 4 males (including 22 female and 2 male paratypes) have been examined from localities listed below. ILLINOIS: Urbana. MISSOURI: Hannibal. NEW JERSEY: Englewood. NORTH CAROLINA: Cedar Mt.; Marion; Swannanoa. OHIO: Jackson Co. FLORAL RECORDS. — Few floral records exist so that one cannot make a statement regarding flower preferences at this time other than that this bee seems to prefer plants of the family Compositae. A. duplicata has been taken from flowers of the following plants: Bidens coronata, Helianthus sp., H. divaricatus, H. grosse-serratus, Solidago sp.
