The result is that the original description is a composite of the two 

 species. We have at present before us two males and two females 

 of the type series which bear this out fully, as the males are both 

 maculatus. 



E. M. Walker has noted that Professor Morse pronounced the 

 males of Blatchley's confusus a different species from the females, 

 but that writer incorrectly surmised that the females were probably 

 synonymous with N. carolinus Scudder.
