A case of probable mimicry in two species of bees in the genus Neocorynura (Neocorynura rufa MICHENER, 1954 and N. panamensis ENGEL, 1997) is described; diagnostic characters and a key to separate the species of Central American bees with black-red (aposematic) pattern of coloration are also provided. The phylogeny of selected species groups and the evolution of different mimicries in the genus are discussed.
