Sigmoria latior munda Chamber
Sigmoria latior munda Chamberlin, 1939 is the most likely possibility for the area where it was found. Definitely not Apheloria virginiensis corrugata, which does not occur in NC. Rowland Shelley

Sigmoria
Looks like the picture in this group of shots:

You may have to hunt for the photo. I entered Sigmoria latior munda into Google, and found it. The locality for the critter was about a mile from where I found it (near Lake Tahoma in McDowell County NC).

Possibly Apheloria virginiensis, but also possibly unidentifiable from this shot.
