Myzinium
i think

 
No, scoliid
This is a female Scoliidae, but I have never seen anything like it, so can't say beyond that. Myzinum is not quite so hairy.

 
Could it be a variation of this bee?
Trielis octomaculata hermione
That image is from this article.

I haven't seen any other bees like this since I took those images, but will keep an eye out for more.
I'd like to get some better images of it.

 
I agree, T. octomaculata
