mushroom bug - Antillocoris

mushroom bug - Antillocoris
Hollis, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
October 10, 2007
Size: est. < 2mm
I spotted this tiny bug on the underside of a mushroom cap and assumed it was a beetl*e till I got it under my camera lens. It was quite dirty so its topside is little more than my interpretation using a clone-stamp tool in PhotoShop. I refrained from fixing its damaged left antenna in PhotoShop.

Thanks, Brad. Indeed it does resemble Antillocoris.
Moved from Dirt-colored Seed Bugs.

What about Antillocoris? Seems to match those in the guide.

Thanks, Boris.
