See key to Dicaelus spp. by GE Ball (1959) for details
in his "A Taxonomic Study of the North American Licinini ..." D. suffuse is shorter and narrower (max width < 7 mm) among other subtle clues.

I am still trying to find out what made the identifier of my images so certain that he moved them. I got no answer yet. My specimens are at the UAIC and may have been reviewed by Kip by now. Time to pay them a visit

Moved tentatively to Dicaelus laevipennis
