I have found Dicranophorus luetkeni only rarely and exclusively in the Simmelried. The few finds are from October 2006, March 2008 and May 2010, after which I have not found any more specimens.
I recognize the species mainly by the long toes, whose claws can be bent (s. fig. 3). This can be observed especially in slightly squashed specimens. In addition, Dicranophorus luetkeni has an apical rostrum above the corona (s. fig. 2d). The corona is limited to the ventral side. The stomach is usually yellow or orange in color.
