The Fork-palped Harvestman

"Dicranopalpus ramosus" is a species of harvestman. Males are up to 4 mm long, females can reach up to 6 mm. Both sexes have very long legs, and pedipalps with a distinct elongated apophysis that reaches almost to the end of the palp's tibia, making their pedipalps look forked. Their body is brownish with dark markings, the females being lighter colored.
