probably genus . . .
Acanthoscelides, judged by the multitoothed hind femora, and elongated body form.

I'm afraid I didn't give you a very clear hind femur view :-)
I would not have guessed there were teeth there. I'll place this on a page for that genus.

There are plenty of Acanthoscelides to choose from on the http://fwie.fw.vt.edu/states/nmex_main/invertebrate.htm#B" class="bb_url">New Mexico Fish & Game Department list:
alboscutel*latus, au*reolus, bis*ignatus, fratercu*lus, loba*tus, obte*ctus, pallid*ipennis, paupe*rculus, perfo*ratus, pulloid*es, semi*nulum, and s*ubmuticus.
