Etymology. The specific name is a patronym in honor of Wilton Ivie, one of the collectors of the holotype, for his contribution to the taxonomic knowledge of the family Agelenidae.
Diagnosis. This species differs from N. chamberlini in having the RTA with ventral projection and a deep excavation (Fig. 28 e).
