looks a lot like the palaearctic E. pygmaea
not yet recorded in the New World, i suspect -- but i wouldn't be surprised

palaeartic E. pygmaea
The best I could do with NA keys was E. rufa. If it is E. pygmaea, based on German keys, it would be a female. I'll get back to the same spot to put another trap this summer in the hope of collecting more (including males). Thank you

yours looks nothing like rufa and certainly not in same subgenus
rufa is the most often encountered/photographed congener on this entire continent, plenty of images
