Discussion: An older name for this species may be subulatus Say, 1823; see Glass and Baker (1968). Those authors recommended that subulatus should be supressed, but see Hall (1981), who used subulatus for the species we recognize as leibii . See also comments under leibii and lucifugus . Apparently closely related to velifer; see Ruedi and Mayer (2001).
