Moved tentatively per Dr Swift's following comment:
"quite interesting. Hard to say from a photo, BUT ... from the body proportions, it appears to be in the albonotatus realm. A strange, yellow-colored morph of albonotatus has been taken from the Charleston Mountains outside of Las Vegas, NV. This population may represent a new species, but more material, especially from other nearby mountain ranges is needed. Anyway, I'd say this bug is an albonotatus for now."

Moved from Xylotrechus.

It is a Xylotrechus
In pubescence it seems closest to Xylotrechus hovorei Swift, but it also resembles Xylotrechus albonotatus Casey. Neither is recorded from Arizona, though. Did you actually collect the beetle?

No.
I did not collect the beetle.
Thanks for the ID.
