Remarks. Automate dolichognatha is a widely distributed and well-known species. It agrees with the key and diagnosis by Banner & Banner (1973) and Chace (1988). Banner & Banner (1973) discussed the variation observed among the different populations of the species. Arthur Anker (pers. comm.), who is revising the genus, confirmed the identification.
