Palpocrates Schmitz (total of two photos of one mating event examined: Figure 4B)

The only characteristic non-genitalic sexual dimorphism of Palpocrates is the male enlarged palpi. The photos examined show a standard mating position for the genus and do not help in understanding whether the males’ enlarged palpi play a role during mating. Notably, the male head is not too elevated and a possible contact between his palpi and the female dorsum seems reasonable, although not recorded.
