Sminthurinus lawrencei female
The recent work of James McCulloch from the UK and Roel van Bezouw from Holland made it clear that my previous ID was wrong. Sorry about that. The dental chaetotaxy clearly points to S. lawrencei.
This is a new species for the nearctics!
So congrats, Kyron!

Sminthurinus niger, female
Great series! Amazing series!
This is the 1st Nearctic record of Sminthurinus niger, based on macroshots, that is verifiable by its morphology.
