Are these not identifiable to species from photos? It is the only species in the genus currently listed in BugGuide in the East – but I guess there are possible confusion species not listed in BugGuide?

Keys to Selenophorus ellipticus/nonellipticus and should be S. ellipticus from what I can tell. However, I'm not sure if the genitalia matches the description in (1): "Endophallus in middle with single row of several contiguous spines". Peter, is this is consistent with Selenophorus ellipticus? Or am I on the wrong track?
