T. assimilis

is the only species that gets into AZ (very upper right corner of Apache Co.). This is based on Howden's 1968 review of the trichiines of North and Central America.

Besides, the smooth second and forth elytral intervals here also support assimilis :-)

Piger

According to the range maps on the Trichiotinus info page, T. piger is the only one in your area. T. assimilis is strictly Eastern

Philip's range map

lists assimilis for norther AZ, piger for the SE corner of AZ. This should then be assimilis
