Based on comment on photo 78123
http://bugguide.net/node/view/78123, on the photo of the antennae, Joel Kits says "A much easier character to separate Anthrax from Hemipenthes is to look at the side of the thorax between the wing base and the halter - this area is bare in Anthrax and covered with hair in Hemipenthes (you can see this, somewhat, in the dorsal shot in this series)." Perhaps it is Anthrax georgicus?
