Thanks.
I think you've nailed it. That puts Oklahoma on the map.

Why not
this one? Lema daturaphila.

Head color is wrong,
pronotum is spotted, antennae too coarse.

furthermore
the pronotum is not constricted (characteristic for Lema) and the inplant of the antenna is close together in between the eyes (characteristic for Galerucinae subfamily)
The impressed rows of punctures are characteristic for the genus Acalymma

Thanks again.
