Neopyrochroa... - Dendroides canadensis

Neopyrochroa... - Dendroides canadensis
Fairmont, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia, Canada
July 21, 2019
This seems to be Neopyrochroa. Femoralis is known from our province, but flabellata is nearby, so I don't want to discount it. Can the choice be made from this photo? If not, what do I look for?

Thanks
Thanks - what feature(s) are you using to differentiate the two genera?

There is a revision for the family by Young
linked on the family info page. The description for Dendroides states-

"It is easily separated from Schizotus and Neopyrochroa in having no cranial pits, much larger eyes in both sexes, especially the males, and more highly developed antennae, again, especially the males."

Also the pronota are different as I stated below.

Pronotum doesn't seem to match those
Maybe Dendroides canadensis?
