Don't recognize family - Novelsis aequalis - male

Don't recognize family - Novelsis aequalis - Male
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
June 27, 2006
Size: 3.5
Found resting on vinyl siding. Thought at first, becase of colored hairs on dark base, that this was a der*mestid. But those antennae tell me it's something else - what?

strange
The body looks like a dermestid or maybe Mycetophagidae, but the antenna look like an anobiid.

Or a bos*trichid
but a pretty aberrant one in either case.
