the herd from the green (fungus) pastures - Ceracis thoracicornis - Male
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
April 6, 2007
Size: 1.6 - 1.8 mm
Here you can see a sharp-cornered tibia that led me to think this was Cis.

Sorry, I can´t really see . . .
the marginal row of spines present on the tibiae of some Ceracis I have recently had a look at in MCZ type database will give a similar picture from this perspective, I imagine . . .

So,

Yes, but . . .
inspection by microscope will settle the question at once!
