Hi Tom. One of the smallest Tomoceridae in the USA. The eyepatch should count 3 single eyes, but that I cannot recognise in the image, however.
So not a juvenile Tomocerus as I first assumed...
Another new genus ans species for the guide.

Naked!
This one looks strange because it has no setae.

Maybe being naked and it's large size, the id can go further, I'm hoping.
