Size: ~35mm to wingtips
Neohermes. Unfortunately, the terminalia aren't visible so I can't use the Bowles & Mathis key (1). N. californicus and N. filicornis are well out of range but I don't know if there's a way to distinguish between N. concolor and N. angusticollis from these photos.
TIA

Moved from Neohermes.

The useful point is that N. angusticollis is very restricted and isn't known outside of 3 states: GA, NC, & SC. Liu & Winterton (2016) give detailed range maps for all 6 of our species.(1)
