Parochthiphila spectabilis (Loew), male
Moved from Parochthiphila. ID'd from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks Tom.

John is right about this being P. spectabilis. Genitalia and description match Ebejer (2016).

The photos here from Massachusetts and New York are Parochthiphila spectabilis or a similar undescribed species.
