The scorpion shows the typical characteristics of the genus " Androctonus " including slender pedipalp chelae and a thick, robust metasoma with a proportionally large vesicle ( bulbous part of telson containing the venom glands ).
32.
The segments of the pedipalp ( from closest to the body outwards ) are coxa, trochanter, femur ( humerus ), patella, tibia ( including the fixed claw and the manus ) and tarsus ( moveable claw ).

The huge pedipalp ( amblypygus ) and the large pedipalp ( schizomida ) appeared in second edition " Advanced Dungeons & Dragons " for the Forgotten Realms setting in " The Drow of the Underdark " ( 1991 ).

This assessment was confirmed later in 2013 by Paul Selden, ChungKun Shih, and Dong Ren, with the description of a male " M . jurassica " which has notably different pedipalp morphology from that of male " Nephila ".
36.
"T . extensa " is distinguished from other members of the genus " Tetragnatha " by the minute curved tip of the male's conductor ( part of the pedipalp ), and the form of the female's spermatheca.

In mesothele spiders, such as " Liphistius " and " Heptathela ", there are two muscles, originating lower in the pedipalp, that attach by tendons to parts of the bulb and help to move it, the soft haematodochae allowing both movement and expansion.

It is one of several monotypic genera from Southeast Asia where, despite their first description dating back more than a hundred years, there are no habitat details, although genital and sometimes other drawings are now available for several of them . " Anarrhotus " is only known from a single male specimen, the pedipalp of which was drawn by Proszynski ( 1984 ).

The courtship ritual can involve several other behaviours, such as juddering and a cheliceral kiss, in which the male's chelicerae pincers grasp the female's in a smaller more intimate version of the male's grasping the female's pedipalps and in some cases injecting a small amount of his venom into her pedipalp or on the edge of her cephalothorax, probably as a means of pacifying the female.
