Population:

There is no information available on the population size or trend of this species. However, there is only a single known record and so the species is assumed to be very rare within its extremely restricted range.

Habitat and Ecology

There is little is known about the habitat and ecology of this species, although it can be assumed to occur on Mediterranean-type shrubland. According to Warncke (1968), Andrena hillana flies in March, but Hohmann et al. (1993) state that it flies from January to March. 

Major Threat(s):
