Could it be
Disonycha alternata?

If you know
the difference between D. arizonae and D. alternata I'll move it. But the color is very different from the other posts.

No,
I don't, but looking through comments on other Disonycha I found this: http://www.ag.auburn.edu/aaes/communications/beetles/disonycha.htm

I'm not familier with some of the terminology in the key though, maybe you can use it.
