Previously thought the sp. was Trielis octomaculata but I found an image of head showing "ridge" between antennae like that of Crioscolia, not seen in other images

Trielis octomaculata
I just examined quite a few females and males from the Texas panhandle of this species. It appears that both Trielis and Crioscolia have this platform/ridge, but it is much more elevated in Crioscolia than in Trielis. In Trielis, only the outline of it is visible, and it is only slightly elevated. Crioscolia doesn't occur in Texas either, only as far East to New Mexico.

I agree, Crioscolia flammicoma
The ridge between the antennae and coloration make this C. flammicoma.
