Due to its early developmental stage it was not fully certain that it is really Anoplodactylus angulatus , but it was larger than the structurally similarly egg-bearing male of Anoplodactylus nanus to be described farther down.

Anoplodactylus sp.indet.: St. 3a., 17.06.2006, Gencelli Cove, C. crinita , 0.5–1.5 m. 2 immatures ESFM- PYC/ 2006-16.
