Anelaphus villosus
The third antennal segment is slightly longer than the fourth in A. villosus, as in the image. In A. parallelus these segments are subequal. The coloration differs between the species (this is subtle and only becomes apparent once you've seen a bunch of them!) and A. villosus tends to fly a bit later in the season...
