Moved

Moved from Trypodendron.

I originally placed this as T. lineatum based on the pictures alone, but was told on another website that it was Trypodendron, but not T. lineatum. The only 4 recorded species of this genus in New Brunswick are T. betulae, T. lineatum, T. retusum, and T. rufitarsis. I've revisited the specimen and managed to take some poor shots of what I believe to be the "fairly large, sharply pointed, median tubercle between upper half of eyes" located on the frons of this male, making it T. betulae.

Corrections welcomed. :-)
