Dienerella ruficollis
Maybe.... Dienerella is the senior syn. of Microgram*me. Should have asked Tom to keep this one - we have only one specimen from Durham.

D.ruficollis was my thought, too.
If it were from Europe, I wouldn´t have hesitated. I did not use the genus name in my comment because it is not listed under it in Nearctica. Good to know the change is now generally accepted.

Moved
Moved from Stephostetus liratus.

Not Stephoste*thus
Either Carto*dere or Micro*gramme (different set of genera).
