just IDed my photo as Apleurus saginatus (Casey). He needed an underside shot to distinguish it from the very similar A. albovestitus. Both occur in the area. Yours looks similar to mine, but not identical. I suspect yours might be A. albovestitus.

I recommend to check for Lixinae subfamily species.

agreed
Sorry I'm fixated on Entiminae because I've been working on them (I'm used to looking at the mandible first thing). I have very similar Apleurus sp in the Lixinae. Of course the white stuff is more hair-like than round scales like the Ophryastes. I can't really distinguish in the picture. You are undoubtedly correct.

It certainly does resemble Cleonis.

Ophryastes sp.
This is quite likely because it has the thick coating of scales on the tarsi, antennal scape and antennal funicle, along with the postocular lobe. A size indication is often useful.
