Super photo! How did you determine the genus?

...an open question:
The genus Corixa is not listed on the Nearctica site (apparently, all species that were ever placed in Corixa have been reassigned to other genera, and Corixa has been dissolved - at least in North America). However, the ITIS site lists 4 valid species of North American Corixa: affinis, dentipes, panzeri, and punctata. None of these species epithets appear on the Nearctica site under Corixidae. Does anyone know what happened to these "missing" species?

I just took the name from several web sites I saw.
As for me, as Schultz from Hogan's Heros would say "I know nothing!".
