Moved from

Goes unambiguously to
Physoconops brachyrhynchus
in the
key in Camras (1955)
...and agrees well with that species in all respects.
This is a male (if it had been a female, the theca would be clearly visible from the vantage shown in the 2nd photo).
Nice photos, and good to have another post of this species (first on BugGuide from Iowa).
