Distinctive traits
This hyper-diverse genus includes bees of very different sizes and colours. For this reason, it is difficult to pin-point any distinctive trait. Except for a single 2-cells species (Andrena lagopus), Andrena look like 3-submarginal-cells bees that would not be a honeybee, nor an halictidae or a Colletes.

Morphologically close genera and how to distinguish them
In this diverse group, some species can look similar to other genera. Here are a few examples and how to avoid confusion:
Cubiandrena has a large cuboidal head, with an extremely wide vertex. The propodeum shows no differentiated horizontal and dorsal areas, being instead entirely declivous and immediately falling away from the metanotum.
Panurgus species have a truncated marginal cell
Apis species have an elongated (banana-shaped) marginal cell.
Halictus, Lasioglossum and Sphecodes species have a strongly curved basal vein.
Colletes species have submarginal cells 2 and 3 of equivalent size. The tongue is bifid. The second recurrent vein is "S"-shaped, T1 and T2 are the largest segments of the metasoma.
Melitturga males have converging eyes on the head. Melitturga females have no fovea on the face and club-like antennae.
Melitta species have a single subantennal suture, no facial fovea and most species have an enlarged last tarsal segment.
Xylocopa species have submarginal cell 3 much larger than submarginal cell 2, and only one subantennal suture.

General comments on Andrena species identification
Identification to the species level can be very complicated due to the sheer diversity of the genus, especially in some of the species-groups and subgenera like Micrandrena. A good knowledge of the local fauna with a collection of reference specimens and/or the help from a specialist are strongly advised.
Species identification often requires to see the posterior femora internal side and tibial the spurs, so the legs should be separated from the body. Wings should not cover the propodeum as there are criteria on all faces of the propodeum and on the first tergite. The labrum should be visible. In addition, many species require extracted genitalia and 8th sternite for male identification.
