    Looks like a leaf cutter, megachile sp. male. But couldn't find a close match.

      Thank you so much, but i'm still inclined to Genus Melecta. A widespread species M. albifrons could be a close match http://www.atlashymenoptera.net/pagetaxon.asp?tx_id=6260 but I still have my doubt concerning the species. Posted 9 years ago

        Yes, very close. I didn't notice the reference.
