Slaterocoris atritibialis (Knight, 1938) -- M.D. Schwartz det.
"...but could also be Slaterocoris stygicus (Say, 1832), give me a dissection any day. (From the couch watching the Series.)"

Moved from Slaterocoris.

I'd like to vote for Slaterocoris in Orthotylinae...
In particular, the convex posterior margin of the pronotum leads to it. ^^

It may not be a Capsus. Then, what???
