Very likely Selenophorus granarius.
Moved to Selenophorus granarius from prior "S. ellipticus" upon my re-examining very similar northeast specimens received from Tom Murray.

PWM note. Externally, S. granarius vs S.ellipticus are most reliably separated by ABL ≤ 6 mm vs > 6 mm; scutellar striae short, interrupted, or absent vs prolonged and well impressed.

Confusion in BugGuide number:
Tom, the single specimen assigned to BG #521258 (Canton MA,) that you sent me is Badister reflexus, 4.2 mm, not at all like the larger harpaline shown here. Please advise.

I just went through all the pictures from around
that date, and this is the only Badister I photographed. The tags must have gotten mixed up.

Image BG #522062 is consistent with
Badister reflexus. Apparantly I did not receive the harpaline specimen corresponding to image at top of this page.
