Apart from a single letter in the Runequest Companion "The Dispatch of Fadabius", there is none. The letter itself is related to one of the scenarios in Dragon Pass and doesn't say very much.
There is reference to the Androgyne in "the Halfbird" Poem in Wyrms Footprints (p83). Described as "holding the fire", she has five children: Preserver, Twisted Horse, Goldtooth, Wily Joker and Yellow Bear.
The Belling Hell that the Lunars say she came from according to the Dragon Pass description is an hell in Pelorian cosmology and ruled over by Natha. There might be some connection with the God Jernotia (Lady of the Pelandan High Gods), who sex-changes at will. But since she has other origins, I'm not going to say Androgeus comes from Pelanda and nowhere else.
