Sigmoria latior
Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve, Moore County, North Carolina, USA
March 22, 2008
Size: 40 mm
Found under a log, length measured in place. I am guessing/presuming this is Sigmoria latior based on comments to this image from a nearby locality:

Corrections, of course, appreciated.

Sigmoria latior latior
I think based on those comments you actually have Sigmoria latior latior which is the one that has yellowish lateral segmental expansions on the dorsa and is found "just north in the Triange".

Thanks!
Thanks, these are so tricky--no two seem to look that similar. This was down in the Sandhills, incidentally, quite near your photo.

You're welcome,
and of course, as always, I may be wrong. :) Based on those comments I would have guessed was S.l.l. as well, except for the location.
