Nice, thanks!

M. incommunis
While these tumblers often show shinny areas in photos that are not actually there, the silver seen here along the base, suture, and the lateral vitta are both real and diagnostic. This is certainly Liljeblad's Mordellistena incommunis, a rather widespread species, at least in his day.

Yours appears to be both the first web image, and another new species for BugGuide :)
