I'm really on the fence on this one. Trouble is, it's a different species (Pseudobiceros hancockanus). I will add it to Pseudobiceros. (It is already at Penis fencing.) If others feel it should be in this article, so be it. Many thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:40, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Right genus, wrong species -- so, you put it in a better place than I did. Sharktopus^talk 03:55, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. In fact, if you want to start the Pseudobiceros hancockanus article, there are lots of images, sources, etc. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:59, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my, that name! But then, who am I to talk, after picking "Sharktopus"? Sharktopus^talk 04:19, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the species name was a joke. Worst species name ever. But, your username is cool. My friend was actually attacked by a sharktopus. It bit off his leg and left him lots of big red circles all over his body. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:32, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction

From the article: "They are able to inseminate their opponent by injecting their sperm into any region of the other's body they are able to penetrate". But from the text associated with the picture: "P. bedfordi is exceptional in that it applies sperm onto the partner's skin rather than injecting it."
