Found this on a sun-exposed sandy slope near the Elbe River, near a colony of Colletes cunicularius. Lüneburg (east of Elbe), Niedersachsen, Germany; 26.04.2022

No. You could argue that the frontal plates are not touching, hence it should be tshernovae. But many “tshernovae”. proof to be argyrocephala when genitalia are checked: the infamous var. pseudotshernovae var. nov. of argyrocephala  Theo |
