There are a few more Euphoria
There are a few more Euphoria that look similar, I'd still wait for one of our beetle experts to weigh in on a species ID

I agree
it's not that easy! Phillip Harpootlian will know what it is. By the way: what is a Bettle Bug?

I think you are right
it is E. sepulcralis. In AZ they do not have any white around the pronotum, but I see that the ones from the SE do - as does yours. So I think everything fits
