Hi Jonathan. There is only one species of this genus that occurs in the US. I cannot confirm the ID for sure because I can't see the top of the head. Can you confirm the top of the head has a central dark line and a large dark U-shaped marking going from each side of the labrum to the back of the head?

 
Cape Cod Trichoptera
Hi Jeffrey, and many thanks for the response! Unfortunately I no longer have the specimen, and these were the only photos taken. I am returning to survey the site soon and - hopefully- will collect another specimen or two.
