X. crassipes?
Based on the Lepturinae key by Schapker (2017) this looks to me like X. crassipes, rather than X. crassicornis. I'm looking at the anterior black band on the elytra which are lacking in this specimen. Instead, the bands meet at an angle which fits for female X. crassipes in the key. Also, the antennae are not so orange, but yellow with black bands (see this photo for comparison:https://bugguide.net/node/view/478294). The two species come down to the same couplet (p. 25) and are very similar in most respects.

This is the exit page to the key: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1367472
