Description

Not what I expected to see under a rock in NY! Found under a rock on top or next to a seep on a hillside. Tentative ID, this should be the only species of this weirdo genus in the region. A small number (much smaller than the total number seen) collected to confirm the species.

Edit 4/24/2021: last 2 shots show the habitat
