Unknown beetle - Melyrodes cribrata

Unknown beetle - Melyrodes cribrata
Lenexa, Johnson County, Kansas, USA
June 5, 2018
This little beetle was on the flower of Rough-leaved Dogwood. I've tried to make it a death-watch beetle or bostrichid or darkling, but couldn't find an image that matched it that well. Rough-leaved Dogwood along a remnant tall grass prairie.

Awesome!
