UV light trap.
-4.8 mm
-Tarsal formula 5-5-5
-Maxillary palpus and slender
-Last segment of maxillary palpus subequal but not distinctly shorter leads toward Enochrus (Enochrus) sp. The only known species from Canada is E. piceus occurs in the west. However, the description provided by Smetana (1988) for the species does not seem to match the specimen in question. After conducting further research, a species from the Palearctic region belonging to the same subgenus, E. melanocephalus, appears to be a better match based on the available description. Any opinion?@mpintar@staslit
