Comb-clawed Beetle - Ptilodactyla

Comb-clawed Beetle - Ptilodactyla
Washington Crossing, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
June 19, 2018
Size: 5-6 mm
Came to lights. I have had Hymenorus at the lights before, but this specimen doesn't match exactly. Among other differences the distal end of the pronotum seems to have notches.
