The paper presents new records of the following six very rare or scarcely recorded species of short-tongued bees of the genus Andrena Fabricius, 1775 in Poland: A. (Notandrena) nitidiuscula Schenck, 1853; A. (Lepidandrena) pandellei Perez, 1895; A. (Lepidandrena) paucisquama Noskiewicz, 1924; A. (Notandrena) pontica Warncke, 1972; A. (Poecilandrena) potentillae Panzer, 1809 and A. (Poecilandrena) viridescens Viereck, 1916. The studies were based on museum collections as well as the author’s own collections. During the research approximately 21,000 specimens, representing 95 taxa, of mining bees of the genus Andrena from Poland were identified. The species discussed in the paper are known from single or just a few stands in the country. The following information is provided for each species: short diagnosis, remarks on general distribution, bionomics, published records from Poland and confirmed Polish records based on studied collections. The text is accompanied by SEM micrographs showing diagnostic characters and distribution maps.
