That's what I'd call it.
Not too many choices for big Hololepta in AZ. There is another of similar size in CA that does not occur here; so unless you see different characters, really big Hololepta of that gestalt in AZ are going to be yucateca.

I was confident about my tentative ID
but I rarely place my images directly at species level without confirmation. Thanks!
