    Possibly Aneugmenus sp. It's barely documented from western NA, though. So, it could be a similar genus.

      You got it! I found this:
      "North America: Most North American species of Aneugmenus have distinct ranges. Aneugmenus flordidella is known from Florida, A. scutellatus from southern Arizona and northern Mexico, A. nigritarsis from Puebla, San Luis Potosi and the state of Mexico, and A. leucopoda from Guatemala (Rohwer 1911, Smith 2003, Smith 2005). Aneugmenus padi is established in British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon, and A. flavipes occurs in eastern Canada and United States, as far north as Newfoundland, south to North Carolina, and west to Manitoba (Smith 1969e). The range of A. diversicolor is only described as “Mexico” (Rohwer 1911)."       Posted 2 years ago
