small rounded isoform lateral palps. Size 21.5 mm x 23.5mm
A hyaline toxodentid, found on Wholesome Harvest Country bags of bread in Barrington, RI. Its oral groove is slightly larger than that of N. vitripalpus. Specimen submitted by field researcher N. Johnson (FORC). Specimen first observed in Canada by FORC scholar N. Juju. Though this specimen shares many hyaline adaptations such as the polished underside and pliable body, it is reported that N. vocivenetus found in northern climes may possess a different integument.
