Again really awesome images! I misspoke about Europidinae, his initial ID was Europodina (infraorder). With these new images he is thinking it belongs to Trematuridae! If you have it mounted in Hoyer’s medium it should clear over the next few days and then we can potentially get it to genus/species!

Lesser known than his federal counterparts, Asa Fitch was appointed by New York as the first state entomologist in 1854.
L.O. Howard noted his work to be “… as finished and as valuable as anything that [C.V.] Riley ever wrote…” (Howard 1930).
An honor to work with a book once owned by Dr. Fitch.
