Brachynemurus sackeni?
Excellent photos. Sure looks similar, if not identical, to these, identified as Brachynemurus sackeni (male):



On that last one, Kevin Williams notes "Brachynemurus sackeni
This is one of the most distinct antlion species in the Southwest, mainly because of the male genitalia and striped abdomen."

 
Agree
Thank you Patrick!

 
oh great, note updated thumbnails
Note that I messed up my first comment and had to edit it. I believe all the thumbnails are correct now.

 
It looks like a safe bet
but I am not comfortable enough with ant lions to move the images...

 
I hear you...
However having stared at a lot of images here classified as this tribe, it really does look distinctive, at least the male.
