This bup is more common (and more likely??)...

Agrilus macer LeConte
Det. E. G. Riley, 2009

Am not sure how far s. into TX A. ferrisi ranges. I've never encountered it...

After studying the image from Calhoun Co., I would call it Agrilus macer LeConte.

Identification
You are absolutely correct! Brain burp on my part...too intent on getting out of here and heading to the coast for R&R! Thanks for setting me straight, Mike. In the future, perhaps I should stick to Acmaeodera.
