Taxonomic Notes: Smith (1853: 116) indicated that the type materials (♀, ♂) were collected in the USA by E. Doubleday, Esq., though the holotype at the BMNH [BMNH no. 17.a.1377] is labelled Nova Scotia [Canada], with [Lieut.] Redman as the collector - the specimen does appear to be a female A. hirticincta Provancher. Morice and Cockerell (1901b) studied Smith’s Andrena types, including the ♂ and ♀ of A. fimbriata, but did not mention provide locality information. Donovan (1977: 72) mentioned the type material, but cited the original locality provided by Smith (1853).
