[Raleigh and Jefferson, N. C] 



The long straight ovipositor of the present species having the dorsal 

 margin of its apex obliquely subtruncate and armed with teeth 

 places it at once in the first of the North American subgenera, 

 Allonemobius, of which fasciatus is the type. 



From typical N. fasciatus it is possible to distinguish maculatus by 

 its smaller size and more compact structure, the different markings 

 on the head and maxillary palpi and more mottled general color 

 pattern, the short tegmina which are more quadrate in the male and 

 more nearly squarely truncate in the female, and the shorter more 

 rigid ovipositor which is armed with very sharp teeth. 



From N. griseus it may be distinguished by all the characters 

 which separate that species from all other species of the subgenus. 



A general superficial resemblance to N. amhitiosus is noticeable, 

 but examination at once reveals the many differential characters of 

 that aberrant species. 



Described from one male and nine females from two localities. 



Single type here designated: 9 ; Marion County, Indiana, in low 

 open woods. October 6, 1895. (Blatchley.) [Blatchley Collection.]
