Mecinini - Cleopomiarus hispidulus

I've been reticent to get help with weevil identification, but this one has me stumped. This looks a lot like Cleopomiarus. Only problem is that the only species in US seems to be C.hispidulus and they are specialists to Lobelia. This one was feeding with seeming gusto on a daisy (Asteraceae).
