On D. missouriensis the black
central stripe would curve around clear to the front of the thorax. This stripe ends before it gets that far, and combined with the absence of marking on the sides of the abdomen, this individual would be D. neoternatus.

Looks like a Diogmites missou
Looks like a Diogmites missouriensis. As Herschel mentions, it has a dividing line that extends all the way forward onto the prothorax on the central stripe. Habitat was open prairie. See image here
