Gynandromorphy is an anomaly that results in an organism phenotypically expressing both male and female characteristics. Here we describe the first gynandromorph of the bee species    Megalopta   amoena    (Spinola, 1853) (  Halictidae  ,   Augochlorini  ) and the second record of this anomaly within the genus    Megalopta   . Additionally, we analyzed the bee’s circadian rhythm, which has never before been quantified for a gynandromorph. The gynandromorph showed a deviant activity pattern; it was intermediate between that of the male and female    M.   amoena   . Our results imply that the brains of bilateral gynandromorphs may have mixed sex-specific signaling. Based on four days of recording, the gynandromorph circadian rhythm was shifted earlier in the day relative to the male and female    M.   amoena   , and it exhibited intensity similar to the female.
