The breakage of the distinctive laterally bent tibial apophysis found on the male palp of Oxyopes heterophthalmus (La-treille, 1804) has been discussed textually in prior works, but no illustrations of such palps have been published. We herein provide the first photographs of post-breakage palps, to aid future workers in recognising injured palps of this species, also discussing how such palps can be readily visually distinguished from teratological morphology. Rotura ocasional de la apófisis tibial del palpo en machos de Oxyopes heterophthalmus (Latreille, 1804) (Araneae: Oxyopidae).
