New subspecies page is created
so you can move it to E. sep. rufina. I saw images of the old E. rufina, now renamed, looks good.

definitely Euphoria sp., only 4 Stephanucha - and its not any of those. I'd say this is E. sepulcralis rufina.

Maybe a Dark Flower Scarab (Euphoria sepulcralis)? Doesnt look like a good match though...close. You have the greatest insects in Arizona!

Stephanucha.
I think Stephanucha is correct, though I thought Euphoria at first, also, from specimens I've collected....
