see here - you should also have the somewhat similar looking Dyscinetus morator in Virginia.

Which one do you think it is. They both look the same to me:-) I can get you a different photo if you want.

it's..
Yours is Euetheola - the differences are subtle. You could shoot a detail of the head and the apical edge of the hind tibia for future help with ID's.

Dyscinetus is VERY close [same tribe] to Cyclocephala, including the males with enlarged apical tarsomere
- just dark.
