Moved from Green Lacewings.

The alternative would be an unmarked Ceraeochrysa lineaticornis (scapes aren't cylindrical enough for Meleoma signoretti, though it can also be found in Massachusetts). I'm not seeing the small black spots on the pronotum that should occur in Chrysopa nigricornis, and my impression is that the scapes are a bit more elongate. If you have anything showing the full antennal length, that would be a reliable diagnostic between the two.
