Dicranopalpus ramosus - Male
This is the typical "Zorro" colour variant of the male Dicranopalpus ramosus. Body shape and colour pattern are quite distinct from the females, but also note the thin and pointed apophysis on the pedipalp as opposed to the swollen, blunt and hairy apophysis on the female:
"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.
