Andrena buckelli Viereck, 1924: 22. Misidentification [in part].
Andrena schuhi LaBerge, 1980: 484 [♀, ♂].
Holotype ♀. USA, Oregon, Klamath County, Harpold Dam, 14 May 1964, by J. Schuh, on Ribes aureum [INHS]
Taxonomic notes: LaBerge (1980: 484) indicated that this species was originally misidentified as part of the type series when Viereck (1924) described A. buckelli. Interestingly, all of the type series specimens of A. buckelli are from British Columbia, Canada, though none of these were used as part of the type series for A. schuhi by LaBerge (1980), and none of them were identified as A. schuhi by LaBerge.
