FIGURE 3. A. Dorsal view of A. eroticus female. Scale bar = 500 m. B. Ventral view of ventral protuberances on proboscis of A. eroticus. C. Lateral view of protuberances of A. saxatilis (= A. digitatus) (Stock 1958a) from Suez Canal. D. Ventrolateral view of protuberances of A. digitatus from Lebanon. The proboscis configuration of females of A. digitatus in C and D is clearly different, which might imply the need of revision of the synonymy. E. Ventrolateral view of protuberances of A. versluysi. F. Ventral view of the outgrowths of female proboscis of A. californicus, note the one­segmented palps on each side of the proboscis. Scale bars = 100 m. G. Ventrolateral view of protuberances of A. evansi. Scale bar = 100 m. H. Close lateral view of protuberances in A. proliferus. Scale bar = 10 m.Published as part of Arango, Claudia P. & Maxmen, Amy, 2006, Proboscis ornamentation as a diagnostic character for the Anoplodactylus californicus-digitatus complex (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida) with an example from the Anoplodactylus eroticus female, pp. 51-64 in Zootaxa 1311 (1) on page 56, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1311.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/507100
