Popov and which are deposited in the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) are reviewed. Primary types of 19 taxa are illustrated and detailed information is provided. New synonymies are established for Andrena chengtehensis Yasumatsu, 1935 (= A. nova Popov, 1940, syn. nov.) and A. skorikovi Popov, 1940 (=A. firuzaensis Popov, 1940, syn. nov.; =A. firuzaensis popovella Gusenleitner & Schwarz, 2002, syn. nov.; = Andrena iranella Popov, 1940, syn. nov.).
