Incertella minor (Adams)
Almost certainly Incertella minor (Adams). The most common species inland in North America including parts of Mexico. I typically get only one or two specimens in multiple sweeps of residential and commercial lawns. Only one time did I get 8 spms.

It is widespread in NA including Canada and some of Mexico. I've seen 100's of specimens of NMNH material from nearly all states except west of the Rockies (so far). My research on this genus is ongoing.
