Smicronyx sculpticollis Casey, female
Moved from Subgenus Smicronyx. Tentatively ID'd from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks Tom.

I think this is a lighter colored individual. Normally the head and thorax are more blackish. The other possibility here is a darker than normal S. cong*estus, but that species shouldn't have the black stripe.

Moved tentatively; i'm very fond of them...
...but the relationship is forcibly platonic 'cuz the taxonomy is a disaster; let's see what Brad will manage to come up with

Moved from Snout and Bark Beetles.

 
Let's hope this one is identifiable
Either way, this is a new genus for me.

 
your D-day catch is a blast then, at any rate
really neat stuff, esp. in the weevil department... but also the tingid, right?
