Looks right, but I know almost nothing about the USA fauna.

We're not supposed to have subventa but none of the native species from Northeast USA look like this with two strong pairs of presutural acrostichals. P. subventa breeds in a wide range of material and may be the most likely species of the genus to immigrate.
