Tritoma sanguinipennis
from Downie and Arnett, this is Tritoma sanguinipennis (Say). It's the only one with all red/yellow elytra AND scutellum. Most others are all black or with only partial red.

Your previous Ertylidae from Harms Woods is also Tritoma but a different species.

Another new species for BugGuide :)

Tim, may you . . .
check out the two specimens at head of the Erotylidae page? I feel you will be able to identify them also (at least to genus).
