Wow! Tom,
This turned into a great series of images. It should certainly clearly define the species for the rest of us once Jeff gets a look at them.

Thanks John and Jane
Jeff says this is a subadult male. I still have it, and will see if I can get pictures of it as an adult pretty soon.

Actually
it may very well be female. I believe in one or more of the ant mimic spp. females have large, swollen palps. Need to double check.
