Thanks, Rob.
It does look different from the ones already in the guide. The Coleoptera Checklist lists one Mantura (floridana) for Ontario, and it looks somewhat like the one here . Don't know if that could be the one? Of course, there might be new species in Ontario by this time...

maybe
I believe there is only one species in north america. The one you refer to is Mantura chrysanthemi floridana. A subspecies or form apparently. I agree it looks some more like your specimen. Your specimen seems smoother though. I don´t see the deep punctures on the pronotum. Maybe this is variable and it is Mantura chrysanthemi after all. I hope other specilists will leave there opions as well.

Alticini
not a Longitarsus, which has a smooth pronotum. It reminded me of Mantura, but it looks different to the pictures in the guide
