Paratype male from the same locality in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. The specific epithet is a Latin noun in apposition, meaning in- vader, foreigner, or stranger. Diagnosis. As a result of its limited dis- tribution in the Nearctic region, this species is sympatric only with O. annulipes, to which it bears superficial resemblance. However, the epigynum of O. interpellator lacks a scape, and the palpus (Fig. 58) is distinct from that of O. annulipes in having a much larger conductor. Description. Female from Cambridge, Massachusetts: carapace (Fig. 16) wider than long (L/W = 1), suboval, clyp- eal projection evenly rounded, almost squared off when seen from above. Eye area highest portion of carapace, carapace sloping evenly in all directions, slightly more abruptly to clypeus. Eyes in two nearly straight rows, PLE the largest, separated by slightly more than one diam- eter; PME irregular, opalescent, nearly contiguous with PLE, separated from each other by slightly less than their greatest width; PME round, dark, three-fourths as large as PLE and separated from PLE by a radius, from each other by one and one- fourth diameters; PLE oval, opalescent, nearly as large as PME, almost contiguous with PME. Epigynum (Fig. 36) of the O. concinnus-O. beatus pattern; copula- tory openings anterior, separated by raised, wrinkled ridge resembling scape; ridge traversed medially by fertilization tubes, which turn abruptly laterad near posterior end of ridge, then curve back mesad and ventrad to open on either side of an oval depressed region limited anteriorly by blunt end of wrinkled ridge and
