The spermadactyl is highly variable in length but is always longer than the movable digit and sometimes substantially so, even reaching twice the length of the movable digit. The spermadactyl is straight or only slightly upturned, with the curvature (if present) never abrupt. The fixed digit is shortened and regressed. Importantly, the nature of this shortening leaves the pilus dentilis emerging from the proximal half of the fixed digit, close to the base, never from the apex, nor in the distal half of the digit.
