Miscophine, Solierella sp.? - Plenoculus davisi - female

Miscophine, Solierella sp.? - Plenoculus davisi - Female
Hatfield, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
July 28, 2020
Size: 7mm approximately
Definitely a miscophine, was keyed by a taxonomist I trust to Solierella sp. Could it be despite all BG records for this genus in the Southwest? She was carrying a tiny paralyzed hemipteran and returning to a small burrow dug in a dry sandy area near a floodplain.

Thank you!
Thanks for the confirmation. Is it odd that the only records on here for this genus are in the Southwest and this is the only one for the eastern half of the country? That's really the only reason I put it in ID request, because I totally trusted the taxonomist who confirmed it initially, but when I saw that BG records were only for the southwest I felt unsure.
