Leafcutter Bee - Megachile latimanus

Leafcutter Bee - Megachile latimanus
Chanhassen, Carver County, Minnesota, USA
August 12, 2005
I think that this is a Megachile spp. Any further ID's available?

Right - Megachile sp.
That's really a true Leafcutter female, one belonging to a species with continuous light band on the apex of its urotergites. A North-American expert of this genus is badly needed, since very many pictures of these bees are now on this Guide.
