Description
Dendrolasma mirabile is said to differ from Dendrolasma dentipalpe by the large-celled network of keels, rather than a small-celled network. Males of Dendrolasma mirabile also have less exaggerated cheliceral modifications and lack the mediodistal tooth found on the palpal patella in males of Dendrolasma dentipalpe.[8]
