External morphology

Small lateral palps and tufts. Size 21.5 mm x 23.24 mm.

Discovered by field researcher J. Michaud (FORC) in Ontario, Canada, attached to a Dimpflmeier brand loaf of bread. This member of genus Peratrox has a smaller oral groove then its congeners; its groove is identical to that of Palpatophora utiliformis in size and morphology. While this glossy-coated specimen is white with trefoil markings (a hallmark of occlupanopsids), doubtless other color morphs exist.
