Spider people, I need your knowledge! I'm working on a 3d model of a liphistius (segmented spider). I can't find good info/pics on the "mouth" area, between the chalicera/fangs and rostrum. What goes here? Any features that should be present?

OK, here's what I've got now. I will probably add some little "teeth" along the back-inner ridge on the chalicerae. Do I add some along the palp-coax too (for the rudimentary maxillae)? #SciArt #Arachnophiles #Spider #Invertebrates

@BlueAppaloosa@sunny.garden Hmmm. Looking through the WSC papers on Liphistius and unfortunately most don't have photographs of the ventral side, and only detailed diagrams/photos of the parts relevant for ID (genitalia, spinnerets). ZooKeys is unfortunately down at the moment.
