from J.D. Pinto: "This could be Nemognatha nigripennis.
"...September is about as late as the species is known to occur in Arizona. We would need to check hind tibial spurs to be sure however. The elytral divergence presumably is simply an individual trait."

Moved tentatively from Nemognathinae.

ANY other angles to add? Nemognatha is a good call.
Moved from ID Request.
