Interesting...

Anelaphus parallelus, for now!
There was a recent paper by Steven Lingafelter that synonymized
Anelaphus parallelus
under
Anelaphus villosus
. This was based on the type series and is too complicated to reiterate here. I believe that
parallelus
is a distinct taxon and for now will maintain the two species for BugGuide's purposes until further research is done on the group.
The characters that distinguish this specimen as
parallelus
are as follows: the longer, narrower form; the third and fourth antennomeres being subequal in length; and the pubescence of the elytra forming vague vittae. Also -
parallelus
flies much earlier in the season than
villosus
, but I'm not sure if your specimen was active in the wild on the date you cite, 1/20...
