Moved from Bactrocerus.

Bactrocerus concolor
male. The LeConte type is indeed a female.

 
That explains it. Thank you!

Type Bactroceras [-us?] concolor
See type - that terminal antennomere bothers me.

 
The type looks
like a female. In the males the last antennomere is quite long. However, I still can't say that it is concolor. This genus is a member of the Eurygeniinae.

 
Certainly not as long
in the type. Elongated, but far shorter. I forgot to check the U of A collection today. Will check next week

Bactrocerus sp.
probably B. concolor.

Anthicid?
By gestalt, it looks like something close to Eurygenius (formerly a pedilid and now an anthicid.

Patrick Sullivan and Bill Warner, independently suggested pedilid, now anthicid. We have another big anthicid here in AZ, Duboisius sp. I think, that looks very much like it too.

Don't think this is a tenebri
Don't think this is a tenebrionid. Maybe a weird anthicid?

 
Check out those antennae
that long terminal antennomer? but the shape did remind me of some anthicids, too

 
terminal segments too long for lagriines
check the 'higher' tenebrionoids, including the pyrochroid-complexes of families. Personally, I never collected anything like this in AZ. Snoop around the UofA insect collection :)

 
Just got a bigger one, 10mm
yes, U of A next week
