A fascinating micropanid, with distinctively asymmetric palps, in which the lesser proximal and lesser distal palps are entirely absent. Specimen exhibits three raised welts on one side. This archignathid can be found stubbornly affixed to small bags of erasers in the shape of miniature bread slices. (See Fig. 4<\/a>) The fact that the bread bags are themselves entirely sealed calls into question what possible benefits this occlupanid may provide to its host. There is a possibility that these miniature “bread-mimics” may have induced these small pastry-obligate occlupanids, to better help complete their mimicry. Species named by occlupanologist D. Mendoza, to honor their colleague’s help in aquiring this specimen in Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
