Synecdoche dimidiata
The long, narrow first preapical cell (the one closest to the outer edge of the wing) is characteristic of this genus. The even brown coloration, without bold black spots on head and thorax, differentiate this species from the other eastern species, S. impunctata.

Family?
Any chance you could clue us in on what family, so we can create a guide page, please?:-)

what a strange generic name!
Why would someone name an insect after a figure of speech? Is this the part of the order that represents the entire order?? :)

Did some searching on the web and I think the family is ACHILIDAE.
