Stilbus apicalis
Pilot Mountain State park, Surry County, North Carolina, USA
August 26, 2013
Size: 2-3 mm
Going through old files I found a batch of things from a survey at Pilot Mountain State Park that I never posted.
Lighted sheet near upper parking lot: 36.340425,-80.479778
Also posted at:

I think I have the correct family.
Update-1. ID as Stilbus on iNaturalist. Perhaps Stilbus apicalis.
Update-2. Looking at print references and records on iNaturalist and BugGuide, it looks like Stilbus apicalis is the only one in the East with the prominent yellow blotches on the apex of the elytra.
