''Eulaema cingulata'' is a large-bodied black and orange corbiculate bee in the genus ''Eulaema''. It is characterized by its size and flashy orange segments of its metastoma. Unlike other Eulaema, E. cingulata has white markings on its face. Specifically, T1 andT3 are black while T2 and T4 through T7 are cream or slightly orange in color. These bees are easily mistaken for bumblebees . However, they are actually members of the Euglossini, or orchid bees.
