I don't think so
troglodytes has the pronotum impunctate [or nearly so] and the metatibiae look wrong

Are you thinking what used to be campestris
and is now aegrotus, or..? I see what you mean about the tibiae. This, of another specimen, looks more like what I remember

as far as the tibiae.

I think that the pronotal punctures
appearing so obvious is an artifact of lighting and oversharpening, but I'll try to get a better shot of the metatibiae.

Aidophus parcus
The pronotum of troglodytes lacks setae and the first segment of the metatarsus is really long. This specimen is definately Aidophus parcus.
