The second pair are more slender and shorter than the first; they correspond precisely with what are deemed the first pair of legs of Octopods and Arachnida, and are clearly analogous to the maxillary palpi of perfect insects.
I then removed the maxillary palpi of the male, after which the insect remained deaf to all sounds emanating from the female.
The maxillary palpi were then removed (the antennæ being left in situ), and at once the creature became deaf.
So close was she that I could see her palpi vibrating rapidly and continuously.
I then removed its labial palpi, leaving maxillary palpi and antennæ intact; it heard the female and made toward her.
Her palpi would vibrate with almost inconceivable rapidity, while every now and then she would lift her anterior pair of legs and wave them to and fro, and up and down.
The movements of the antennæ and palpi grew weaker and weaker on the ninth, and on the morning of the tenth the insect was dead, a period of five and a half days having elapsed since it was brought into the nest.
On the next morning the grasshopper was very lively, the antennæ and labialpalpi moving without stimulation.
On the seventh the grasshopper responded to stimulation by a slight movement of the palpi and the end of the abdomen.
The maxillarypalpi are four-jointed, the labial palpi three-jointed.
The Phrynidae are very peculiar looking animals, the anterior legs being very long and slender and the maxillary palpi very large.
So if you find a female mosquito with long mouth-palpi and spotted wings resting at an angle to the surface on which it stands you may be reasonably sure that it is an Anopheles and therefore may be dangerous (Figs.

We have detected similar pits in the under side of the palpi of the Perla.
The labial palpi are three-jointed, the joints being broad, and in life directed backwards instead of forwards as in the higher insects.
The maxillæ; end in a tridentate lacinia as usual, though the palpi and galea I have not yet studied.
The maxillary palpi are greatly developed, but the chief characteristics are the two-jointed stylets arranged in nine pairs along each side of the abdomen, reminding us of the abdominal legs of Myriopods.
How much the palpi vary in these groups of insects is well known.
Between the labial palpi is the mouth, which leads into the stomach by a short, wide tube, and then into a convoluted tube which finally passes through the heart, and terminates near the exhalent siphon as above described.

Palpi moderate, second joint with long or very long spreading hairs beneath, terminal joint moderate or rather long, often concealed.
The latter is exercised by the palpi and the tips of the legs, especially the first pair, but no ear has yet been discovered; neither is anything known of the organs of taste and smell, or even whether the insect possesses these senses at all.
Six of these were found among the sixty larger spiders, and a moment's examination of their palpior feelers (Fig.
We know the symptoms: the tarsi tremble, the palpi quiver, the antennæ wave to and fro.
First the tarsi quiver; then the palpiand antennæ wave feebly to and fro.
In a minute or two, the Geotrupes' tarsi twitch, the palpi quiver, the antennæ wave gently to and fro.
The mouth-parts, labrum, mandibles and palpi are movable and stir slightly, as though seeking food.
The tarsi quiver, those of the fore-legs first; the palpi and the antennæ move slowly to and fro: this is the prelude to the awakening.
Only the mandibles and the palpi work, acting as tub, trowel, beater and roller in one.
The maxillary palpi are rather long, consisting of two cylindrical sections of equal length, the outer ending in a very short bristle.
Labial palpi rather bulky, short and with three joints, like the antennæ.
The maxillary and labial palpi are brown and shaped like very small studs with two or three joints to them.
Praementum smaller than the hypopharynx, in outline roughly oval or semicircular with the two labial palpi surrounded by hairs at the base.
Maxillary palpi moderately long and slender, nearly straight, gradually narrowed to the tip which ends opposite the knee-joint of the fore legs.
The complicated double set of jaws and palpi of crustaceans{150}, and all insects are considered as metamorphosed and to see the series is to admit this phraseology.
His palpi once emptied of these male cells, of what further use to the species can he be and why should not the carnivorous female promptly eat him up?
It is only three or four lines in length, of a golden green, with thepalpi ferruginous, antennae brown, and feet black.
In one of these groups, the antennae are formed of at least six joints, and the palpi of four or five: these are called Nemocera.
With their palpi they clean them, brush them, distend their skin, and thus prepare them for the critical trial of their metamorphosis.
The palpi are four in number, two maxillary and two labial.
In the other, the antennae consists only of three joints, and the palpi of one or two: these are the Brachycera.
In most instances palpi and stilets of variable form are subsequently developed in connexion with the proboscis, and, as indicated in the above descriptions, are assumed to correspond with the two original embryonic appendages.
From the proboscis are formed the rudimentary palpi of the second pair of appendages, and two elongated needles representing the chelicerae.
From the proboscis the palpi (of the pedipalpi) grow out below.
Four setæ within a similar kind of proboscis; the third joint of the antennæ spatulate; the palpi thickened.
Body tolerably cylindrical, and all three parts connate; palpi very large and forcipiform.
Upon these maxillæ, palpi are likewise situated, which are probably nothing else than what has been termed tarsus, thus repeated in the head also.
These palpi or feelers are, from being organs of ingestion, both male penes as well as digits or tongues, as in the Polyps.
Palpi long and greyish, the extremities being black.
It consists of the second pair of maxillæ, usually closely united in the middle line, but bearing a pair of palpi in most insects.
Mouth with the labrum notched in the middle, not swollen; palpi large, almost touching each other; mandibles generally with the lower teeth laterally double; third pair of cirri with their segments resembling those of the second pair.
The labrum is strongly toothed: the palpi have long hairs along the exterior basal margin: the mandibles have only three main teeth, and the inferior coarsely pectinated portion is short; the maxillae deeply notched.
The only differences, compared with the following species, that I perceived, were that the hairs at the end of the palpi were here rather longer, and the fourth tooth in the mandibles rather less distinct.
The palpiare rather small, with long spines at their ends.
The crest of labrum is hairy: the palpi are square, and have no bristles along their basal exterior margins, but long ones at their truncated ends.
The palpi have a tuft of very long spines at their ends.
I can point out no difference, excepting that the palpi are here more oval or less truncated at their ends; and that the lower corner of the maxillae seems to be more prominent.
The palpi are broad; on their basal exterior margins there is a short row of spines, which do not equal in length the width of the palpi, and therefore are not so long as in C.
The crest of the labrum is not toothed; the palpi have long hairs along the exterior basal margin.
Heteropalpi: palpi with a different number of joints in male and female, as in some Trichoptera.
Isopalpi: that series of Trichoptera in which the palpi of both sexes have the same number of joints.
The rudimentary condition of the palpi is connected, as remarked under the Anelasma squalicola, with the absence of efficient cirri.

There is a greater, though still slight, difference in the included animal's body; the palpi in I.
But Reaumur found, after the most attentive examination, that the cry came from the mouth, or rather from the tongue; and he thought that it was produced by the friction of the palpi against that organ.
Mr. Curtis suspects that Xyela pusilla, a hymenopterous insect related to Xiphydria, uses its maxillary palpi as legs[481].
When, by means of a pin, he unfolded the spiral tongue, the cry ceased; but as soon as it was rolled up again between the palpi it was renewed.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "palpi" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
