A.canadensis seems to have less serrate protibiae and is of north/western north/western distribution.

Moved
Moved from Common Pollen Beetle.

Strongly serrate protibiae are genus character of Afrogethes.
It is unclear which of the two native species occurs in Texas - found none of them mentioned - but this may probably be A. saevus (Boraginaceaen hosts)
