form organ of the maxillae seems to be of a complicated structure (Pi. 1, fig. (5 c) 

 (cf. pp. 28-29 and PI. I, figs. G a-d and 7 a-c). 



The palps of the Garypidae vary considerably in the dilTerent Ibrms; they 

 are sometimes extremely long and slender f. inst. in Gcinjpiis sa.vicola Wath., in which 

 the femurs are about five times longer than broad, and the fingers much longer 

 than both hand and femur; but sometimes these appendages are extremely short 

 and clumsy f. inst. in Olpiiim crasskhelatuin Balz., in which the femora of the i)alps 

 are scarcely more than twice as long as broad and, in which the hand is distinctly 

 shorter than the fingers. Two characters seem to be in common for this family, 

 namely that the femur is longer than the tibia and that the hand is as a rule 

 distinctly broader than the tibia. 



The coxae af the legs are placed on a level with the maxillae with the 

 exception of a few species of Garijpus L. K., in which the first pair seems to be

placed on a slightly lower level. In shape they provide dilTerences, which are very 

 remarkable, being more or less elongated; it is especially the fourth pair, which 

 shows the remarkable variations; this pair is in Olpiiim Birmanicnm n. sp. about 

 15 longer than broad (PI. II, fig. 7 g), while it in Gurypiis sa.vicola Wath. is 3'5 

 longer than broad ; in some species like G. saxicola Wath. we have the intero- 

 posterior corner obsolete, giving the whole coxa of the fourth pair a triangular 

 appearance (fig. 15), in other species like G. elegans Sim. this corner is very pro- 

 minent, as the interior and posterior sides establish an obtuse angle with each 

 other, giving the coxa a trapezoidal appearance (fig. 16). 



The legs differ to a considerable degree within this family in almost every 

 respect, as fas as the relative length of the joints is concerned; but is is especially
