From Henry Hespenheide
It's A. politus if the antennae are serrate from the 4th segment,
although it's a little small for that species. If the antennae are
segmented from the 5th segment, it's probably A. egenus. The host of
egenus is Robinia neomexicana, and that of politus is willow, but the
plants can grow close together.
