Based on the lack of a produc
Based on the lack of a produced pronotal edge, plus geographic location, plus the number of antennal segments (antennomeres), this is definitely something in the subgenus Homaesthesis. Narrowing it a bit further based on geography (which can be dangerous) it's probably either P(H). integer, rhodocerus, emarginatus, and possibly even palparis. The most common of these species is integer, but that's not saying very much. If the person who took this image is interested in a certain ID, the U of NM's Museum of Southwestern Biology can put an ID on it for sure (if the specimen was collected, or if more are encountered next year).
