Selonodon
You've posted a few Selonodon in the last year. There are two species recorded from Mobile Co., AL: S. medialis and S. mississippiensis. I cannot separate the two without seeing the prosternum or the genitilia. However, medialis has historically been collected earlier in May-June (mississippiensis generally later, June-July). This has been an odd winter and spring however so emergence times may be off.

Due to othe travel commitments I probably will not be at the BugGuide gathering; I hope to see these specimens at some point however!
