Diastata sp., probably D. vagans
ID confirmed from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks John!

As John said, this is probably D. vagans. There are supposed to be undescribed species however... I woudn't have a problem saying this is D. vagans for the purposes of BugGuide, at least until we get a revision of the genus.
