Dicaelus furvus - female

Dicaelus furvus - Female
7 km east of Paw Paw, 39.5230, -78.3632, Morgan County, West Virginia, USA
June 9, 1990
Size: 16 mm
Unbaited pitfall trap in wooded ravine. The long humeral carinae are easy to see. I believe there is a tubercle on the left mandible but you can't see in this photo? I considered trying to relax and spread the mandibles for a better view of the inner edge, but this specimen is almost 30 years old and so I was worried the mandible would snap off.
