I think...
...this is probably Tragidion densiventre, based on the the narrow black basal band on the elytra and the type of habitat (not a definitive ID, though). This species occurs in lower desert habitats, while T. deceptum occurs at higher montane elevations, although to two species can co-occur (even feeding on the same shrubs) in zones of contact.

Hmmm...
I would definitely start looking under Longhorn beetles. Love the colors on the antennae.

BugGuide has Tragidion annulatum
in the guide here which looks close enough to be a place to start while you await an ID from one of the experts.

Thanks for both replies.
Certainly looks like Tragidion annulatum.
