Several years ago I marked this photo as Phasia sp., but as I look at it again, it seems to have all the right traits for Gymnosoma sp. Does this seem right, Gymnosoma sp.?
13 July 2007, Canaan Valley, West Virginia, elevation 1030 meters, mixed woodland and open areas, also wetlands.

Enterely looks like
Gymnosoma sp. to me :) But no idea if there are other similar genera in North America :( Better wait for another opinion ;)

I'd bet on
Gymnosoma - you have that genus in North America :) It's a female - hence the heavy black markings.
