@BlueAppaloosa@sunny.garden Anyway, there should be a labium flanked on either side by endites/maxillae. Some examples/diagrams based on unrelated spiders:

But how liphistiids' look will be very different.

@nev@flipping.rocks Yeah, that's what I've been running into. There's a handful of photos that show the ventral side, but the "mouth bits" are mostly obscured by the little hairs, so it's still really hard to see what's actually up in there.
