Andrena simplex – Small to medium summer and fall mining bee. Female is noted for small, short, broad facial fovea, F2 equal to F3 and F2 less than length of F1, mid basitarsi expanded, tergites dull, vertex short, cheek approximately equal to eye width in lateral view, and labral process short and bidentate. Male is noted for its yellow clypeus, F2 equal to length of F3, both of which are shorter than F1, S6 reflexed, and smooth, dull tergites.

This is a small bee ranging from the plains states to the eastern seaboard. The males of A. simplex are distinctive in having a yellow clypeus, short antennae with the second and third flagellar segments subequal in length and together shorter than the first segment, the sixth sternal plate strongly reflexed apically, the metasomal terga dulled by coarse reticular shagreening and impunctate, and the vestiture pale in color. The females of A. simplex can be recognized by their small size, the second and third flagellar segments being subequal to one another, the facial foveae being short and broad, the terga being dulled by reticular shagreening and the middle basitarsus being distinctly broader than the hind basitarsus medially. Both sexes are distinctive in having the pterostigma at least as broad as from the inner margin of the prestigma to the wing margin and in occasional specimens slightly broader.

FEMALE. MEASUREMENTS AND RATIOS. N = 20; length, 9.0-10.0 mm; width, 2.5-3.0 mm; wing length, M = 2.79 0.139 mm; FL/FW, M = 0.99 0.004; FOVL/FOVW, M = 2.47 0.037.

INTEGUMENTAL COLOR. Black except as follows: mandible rufescent at least in apical half; tegulae often slightly rufescent; wing membrane hyaline, slightly infumate, veins dark brown to black; terga extremely narrowly hyaline apically; sterna 2-5 hyaline apically, often rufescent medially; distitarsi often rufescent; tibial spurs yellow.

Pronotum normal, with minute indistinct punctures and tine reticular shagreening dulling the surface. Mesoscutum with small to minute, irregularly spaced punctures separated mostly by two to three puncture widths, surface shiny to moderately shiny, with reticular shagreening dulling surface, shinier medially. Scutellum similar but punctures larger. Metanotum dulled by fine punctures and dense coarse tessellation. Propodeum with enclosure with sides slightly concave, surface regularly tessellate, slightly more coarsely sculptured at extreme base; dorsolateral and posterior areas with small round punctures separated by two to three puncture widths, dulled by coarse tessellation; corbicular surface moderately shiny, with small scattered punctures, surface coarsely and reticularly shagreened. Mesepisternum sculptured like mesoscutum but punctures slightly more abundant. Metepisternum with lowest part sculptured like corbicular area but punctures sparse or absent. Middle basitarsus expanded slightly medially, sides evenly rounded, slightly but distinctly broader than hind basitarsus medially. Tibial spurs and claws normal. Front wing with three submarginal cells; vein 1st m-cu meets second submarginal cell near middle or slightly beyond middle of cell; pterostigma usually about as broad as from inner margin of prestigma 10 wing margin, occasionally slightly broader.

TYPE MATERIAL. The holotype female of A. simplex from the United States is in the British Museum (Natural History) in London (No. 17al36y). The lectotype (INHS) female (Robertson No. 8665) and the lectoallotype (INHS) male (Robertson No. 8655) of A. solidaginis from Carlinville, Illinois, September 1888, were collected by diaries Robertson. Six female and one male paratypes taken at Carlinville by Robertson are also at Urbana. The holotype (NSM) female of A. radmitricha Viereck and Cockerell was taken in October in Lincoln, Nebraska. The female holotype (PANS No. 4070) of A. determinata Viereck, was collected on August 18, 18(55, at North Andover, Connecticut.

DISTRIBUTION. The known distribution of A. simplex includes the region from Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota in the west to New Hampshire, Massachusetts and North Carolina in the east (Fig. 10). This species has been taken from August 17th through November 8th but chiefly during September. A total of 292 females and 111 males have been examined in addition to the type material listed above.
