I checked this out and it looks very similar also, but it does not seem to have the 4 teeth at the last tergite. The males of Coelioxys quadridentata do possess those 4 teeth, and they are visible on the photo. I am not sure, though, if there are other species with this feature; the relevant information is difficult to obtain.
