There's quite a few Trichodes
There's quite a few Trichodes out there, and we do have a Clerid expert lurking on Bugguide, so I might move them to genus for now. I think your ID is correct, but an expert should weigh in.

I haven't learned how to move photos to guide pages. Maybe thats for editors to do. I believe the ID is correct.
