It can be distinguished by having a narrower paraoral adit, gentler oral hooks, and lower distal palps, a trait shared with other recently observed populations of genus <em>Megapanis<\/em>. Is this how the future of the genus will flow, or are these specimens a splash in the river of microsyntheric time?
