Loxocera cylindrica
This is L. cylindrica, which has a longer pedicel than L. collaris, the only other species of the genus known from NC. L. cylindrica is widespread in the east, and shows much colour variation (this specimen is almost completely red; farther north, brown markings are usually much more extensive on thorax and abdomen).
