Orthotylini - Tytthus parviceps

Orthotylini - Tytthus parviceps
Houston, Harris County, Texas, USA
May 18, 2020
Size: 3 mm
Came to blacklight in urban area.
Looks closely related to

Edit: Not Orthotylini, after all. I'm pretty positive it's Tytthus parviceps, based on key and description in https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/3115/. Narrowly dark bases of tibiae, coloration of first antennal segment, large distinct pale spots next to eyes, and pale anterior third to half of pronotum all point toward this circumtropical species that's known in the US from at least Florida and North Carolina. The most similar species, T. chinensis, does not occur in the Americas.
