Wow.
I had no idea that this genus could have reduced wings in adults. Amazing!

Stenopoda cinerea, I think
Wow, this one is rather tough. To me, this photo of a winged individual of Stenopoda cinerea looks very close:

That species is pretty common in the North Carolina State University Entomology Collection--the adjacent state, and that is the only species from the genus listed. So I guess this one is good enough. I'm always ready to stand corrected.

You are right!
The head and eye look closer to Stenopoda. Thank you!
