Moved again--OOPS/ID comments
Moved from Prionosoma. (Sorry, messed up the first move.)

Here I believe you can see a character given by Slater (1):
Labium (segmented sheath covering stylets--the beak-like mouthpart) is short, not reaching the middle legs.

Prionosoma?
Could it be a species of Prionosoma, such as P. podopioides? I've never actually seen one, but its supposed to heavily pubescent, which this Pentatomid definitely is.

stink bug
i would certainly say this could be called heavily pubescent, but again, i really do not know anything about this family, you could be right on with Prionosoma... in any case, thank you for the information Brad.

Yes, Prionosoma podopioides
Yes, I can see characters for this genus described in Slater (1), and there is only one North American species. References, etc. to be added to guide page.
