The translators of Baseonema gregori (Fig. 2a) are
spathulate with spoon, stalk and viscidium (adhesive disk).
The spoon is ovate and slightly split at the apex. The margins of
the stalk are curled inward giving the stalk a u-shaped
appearance. If margins of stalk is not curled, the demarcation
between spoon and stalk are not clear. Translators in B. gregori
vary in length from 1–1.7 mm (x=1.5 mm). Translators of
Batesanthus (Fig. 2b, c) are spathulate with spoon, stalk and
viscidium. When the margins of the stalk are not curled inward
the spoon and stalk have a rhomboid form (Fig. 2b). The median
partition is obvious and the spoon is often split. In both species
the spoon was sometimes completely split (Fig. 2c). Translators
in B. pseudopalpus vary in length from 938–1070 μm and in
B. purpureus from 608–741 μm
