the extensor margin 0.39 mm., depth 0.18 mm. ; tibia with 
extensor margin convex, flexor margin concave, deepest 
at the distal end, length 0.57 mm., 'depth 0.135 mm. ; meta- 
tarsus subcylindrical in shape, length 0.38 mm., depth 
0.105 mm.; telotarsns 0.345 mm. long, 0.1 mm. deep. 
Fourth leg with trochanter 0.55 mm. long, 0.24 mm. deep ; 
pars basalis subtriangular in outline, 0.395 mm. long, 0.215 
mm. deep; pars tibialis with very weakly convex flexor 
margin continuous with the margin of the pars basalis, 
extensor margin weakly to flatly convex hut a little more 
convex basally than distallv, length measured along the 
extensor margin 0.995 mm., depth 0.275 mm. ; entire femur 
1.25 mm. long; tibia shaped as in the first leg hut much 
more slender, length 0.98 nun., depth 0.15 mm. ; meta- 
tarsus subcylindrical but a little narrower across the dis- 
tal than the proximal end, length 0.48 mm., depth 0.13 
mm. ; telotarsus 0.38 mm. long, 0.12 mm. deep. 
Genital complex simple ; anterior operculum with 17 
setae, many of which are arranged in a row along the pos- 
terior margin ; posterior operculum or third sternite with 
eight setae forming a single row; lateral cribiform plates 
smaller than the somewhat fragmented median plate. 
Type locality. Weier, Murray Islands, Torres Strait, 
Queensland. Collection made by H. L. Clark on October 
4, 1913. Unfortunately, no ecological data accompany 
the single individual (holotvpe) in the collection. 
Remarks. This is the first record of the genus Gary pus 
L. Koch from the Australian region and its occurrence 
fulfills a prophecy made by Chamberlin (1934) that the 
genus should be present in Oceania. 
Garypus longidigitus is readily separated from other 
species of the genus by the characteristics, especially the 
length : width ratios, of the palpal prodomeres. The very 
long and slender chelal fingers are among the most sig- 
nificant of the diagnostic features.
