Hesperocorixa male
In your other photo, note the asymmetrical dorsal terminalia and the strigil (the dark spot you can see on the upper part of the second to last tergite). Both are male characters, though males of a few genera (eg. Callicorixa) lack the strigil.
Members of this genus are generally larger than the average corixid.
