Epicharis albofasciata. Don't know much about this species or the genus is nestles in. It is a sister taxa to Centris, it (like Centris) is primarily a Central and South American bee. It probably is an oil collector, I would imagine. Quite elegant looking. Photo by Cole Cheng and specimen collected by Tim McMahon in Costa Rica.
