Description

Dendrolasma dentipalpe is said to differ from Dendrolasma mirabile by the intricate, small-celled keel lattice, and its relatively shorter legs. The males are said to have more exaggerated cheliceral modifications than Dendrolasma mirabile, plus have a notable medioapical tooth of the male palpal patella. Also the very long penis with an elongated glans.[6]
