Helluomorphoides latitarsis (Casey)
based on my microscopic examination of this specimen which is deposited in the P.W. Messer collection as a photo-voucher. Thanks Charles.

A very similar similar rufous species in Arizona is H. ferrugineus but that one has proportionately longer antennomeres, pronotum not as cordate, and proximal metatarsomeres not as wide nor parallel-sided.
