Thanks
I'll move those others a bit later. Bugguide is really slooooow right now.

 
'really slooooow' -- meaning, new funny bugs are few? i agree...
that's the exact reason i've decided, very reluctantly, to tackle the nasty clicks. don't get me wrong: they are fun and, with few exceptions, quite recognizable to someone with hands-on experience, but dealing with a new continent's fauna without a good ref.collection is about as frustrating as it gets; same with Bguide broadnoses: i stared for a few hours at the E n t i m i n a e dump and abandoned, angry as hell, the idea of making a diff. there :-[
got luckier w/clicks, though; Dennis's professional IDs made me feel much more confident

 
That too
but what I really meant is that pages are opening really slow now.

 
yup,
this effect of the wall street meltdown is kinda hard to miss

Paradonus pectoralis
(unrelated: Tom, if you don't mind, could you pls go thru the first few pages of family-level elaterids and move those 'reasonably safely' IDed accordingly; i know it's too boring but it would both reinforce subfam-level Gestalten and refine the picture of what we still don't understand on the family level. --thanks! =v=)
