Piona longipalpis
male - 2.4 mm
The (male) specimen of the firt page. The two pegs (setal tubercles?) on the left palp are
well visible. The eyes are surrounded by a somwhat lighter coloured field, you may see this on
other Piona species too, e.g. P. carnea.
Above: another picture of the same specimen. Below: another picture of the femal specimen.
The palps of the female seem a bit smaller, but as you can see below, they are quite sturdy.
