Yes a Trichochrous (in Dasytinae)
Look at the front tibiae.
The series of minutes spines are one of the characters of the Trichochrous genus.
But unpracticable at the level species. Blaisdell described so many.

Say Robert,
Could you have a look at this one also?
Boris Büche thinks it could be a dasytine.

Thank you, Robert. I'm glad to learn this distinction for the genus.

Melyridae: Dasytinae
Try a normal-colored dasytine melyrid.

Yipes!
This year I have misidentified as by*turid a cry*ptophagid, a la*ngurid, and now a melyrid. Man do I ever need that beetle course, Don.
