It is somewhat of the Megachile pilidens/apicalis group (see both white hairy spots on last tergite), but not possible to ID. Megachile in the South is not yet revised, and nobody for the moment is able to identify them. A former specialist, V.D. Zanden, passed away some years ago. Regards, Christian |

If you are still interested in ID-ing it you can try to contact Christophe Praz at the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland), he's a Megachile specialist. |
