ID revision
After reviewing my previous id and comparing it with a collected specimen of A. persimilis, I conclude that this is A. vadosus Van Duzee. This species has the pronotum also with transverse impression but has no denticulate edges. The color is described as 'yellow variegated with black' and 2nd antennal segment is about 2.5X longer than the 3rd.
