The closest I could find in the guide is a Wheel Bug, but it doesn't have the wheel, just a hump on it's back where the wheel would be.

Acholla multispinosa
This must be the season for these assassins. I almost overlooked this one. It was on an information kiosk with about 20 Western Conifer Seed Bugs. Glad I checked them all out. Thanks for the ID, and the compliment Eric.
