Moved
Moved from Beetles.

Based on the distribution maps in the recent revision, it looks like this is the only species in our area, as best I can tell. Moved tentatively, I guess this would be a male? Thanks again to the Balabans.

I looked through the clerids but missed this one. Got to be it, or very close...
