Australian region. From the description given by Cham- 
berlin (1930), it is evident that zealandiensis differs from 
michaelsoni by having much stouter palpal podomeres. 
By comparing the palp of zealandiensis with the figure 
given by Beier (1932, fig. 210) for the palp of michaelsoni, 
it may be seen that a number of slight differences exist 
between the two forms with respect to the shape of the 
palpal podomeres. Olpium zealandiensis may be readily 
separated from other species of the genus by character- 
istics of the palpal podomeres.

Figures 4-6 
Female. Body elongate; length 4.65 mm. Carapace 
light brown in color; posterior margin nearly straight, 
anterior margin weakly bilobed, lateral margins very 
weakly convex to straight behind the eyes ; posterior mar- 
gin with two setae, each placed some distance anterior to 
the actual margin; anterior margin with four setae; eves 
prominent ; anterior eye separated from the anterior cara- 
pacal margin by more than the diameter of the eye, eyes 
of each pair separated by about one-half the diameter of 
the eye; carapace smooth except for netlike markings 
along the side and weakly developed granules behind the 
eyes ; length of carapace 1.08 mm. ; posterior and greatest 
width about 0.9 mm.; ocular width 0.5 mm. Abdomen 
much wider than carapace ; lateral margins gently con- 
vex; length 3.55 mm., greatest width 1.9 mm. Tergites 
light brown in color, surface virtually smooth; first ter- 
gite with four setae, central tergites with six to eight 
setae; all tergites undivided. Sternites smooth, light 
brown in color ; most sternites with eight, some with six 
or 10 marginal setae. 
Chelicera moderately deep brown in color ; base fairly 
stout and marked by a few netlike lines on the exterior 
surface ; all setae long and acuminate ; flagellum of four 
stout blades, each with an almost smooth margin; cheli- 
cera 0.29 mm. long, base 0.175 mm. wide. Fixed finger
