Moved tentatively based on the following pers.comm...
...from Andrew Cline: "This looks like C. strigatula, but the fasciate Cryptarcha are very difficult to id without seeing the prosternal process. The elytral markings and setation patterns can be very similar in these species, so my "C. strigatula" is a best guess of the species and should not be considered 100%. Sorry I can't be more precise, but some of these guys I just need to see the underside."

Moved from Cryptarcha.
