Great job, stho002. You nailed the genus. The species is a first for Project Noah and BugGuide, p. fuscitibia.
Oh! No there isn't. Just a light refraction. I'll update the description. Your suggestion looks great! Thanks stho002 :)
Colour pattern doesn't seem to be an exact match, though
Maybe Paratendipes albimanus? http://bugguide.net/node/view/250417
Is there really white on the antennae??
