Thanks!
Thanks for the ID. I was looking at divaricata but to my eye the rear margin of the pronotum - particularly the lateral posterior margins - didn't look quite right. Looking at more images I can see that apparently there is a fair amount of variability in that character. Glad to have an expert look it over.
