nice!
A new genus for BugGuide, and apparently the only NAmer species.

Thanks again!
Should I pass this on to a forum for creation of a new page?

Thanks a million Tim!
I now know where to find some of these in nature, so hopefully will have some more "natural" shots to add in a few months...These specimens were picked up in early April under some leaf litter, so that is not too far away!
