External morphology

Small sharpened palps, and larger oral groove. Extensive markings. Size 23 mm x 21 mm.

While on a survey of an Australian shopping center, occlupanologist M. Ammon discovered this distinctive Tridentid attached to a packet of Nevana tomato and cheese pizza bases. Curious for an occlupanid, it was found in a refrigerated niche, and may prefer cooler environments.
