Nallachius americanus - Male
Sapsucker Woods, Tompkins County, New York, USA
July 13, 2016
At MV light. Originally thought it might be a new record for New York, but turns out we have a single female specimen in the CUIC collected in Ithaca in 1985. Nevertheless, a very exciting find!

Great find, Brandon
...and a beautiful photo!

BTW, you'll probably be interested to know that a 2015 Zootaxa paper made use of BugGuide posts as supplemental records for documenting the geographic distribution of Nallachius species :-)

thanks!
This specimen was collected and deposited in the CUIC too, and I know someone who collected one on Cornell's campus last fall, so there are at least 3 specimens of this species from Tompkins county.
