Entomobrya confusa
Hi Jim. This species has a uniform background colour usually with darkened posterior margins of up to abd III. Might be confused with E. sinelloides in which all segments have a dark posterior margin.

Note: not family Tomoceridae, but Entomobryidae.

Thanks for the correction, Frans.
I guess I'm a little rusty on my Arthropleona. It had been awhile since I posted one :-)
