Longhorn indeed:-)
Looks to be Crioprosopis magnificus, the so-called "Texas Canyon longhorn" for the locality the species was found at orginally. According to Carl Olson at the U of Arizona, these handsome beetles are only locally common, patchy in distribution, and seem to emerge at a given locality only every three years! You are a lucky man to find one:-)
