Massachusetts, USA July 4, 2011. Norm Woodley thought it might be Clausicella.

In this case I think Norm is the expert. :) Are those elongated palps or a long proboscis I can see?

Completely independent of Norm, I thought it would be something int he vicinity of.... Clausicella

I guess you have more genera around .
