Palpigradi is an order of very small arachnids commonly known as microwhip scorpion or palpigrades.
== Description == Palpigrades belong to the arachnid class. They are the sister group to Solifugae, no more than in length, and averaging . They have a thin, pale, segmented integument, and a segmented abdomen that terminates in a whip-like flagellum. This is made up of 15 segment-like parts, or "articles", and may make up as much as half the animal's length. Each article of the flagellum bears bristles, giving the whole flagellum the appearance of a bottle brush. The carapace is divided into two plates between the third and fourth leg pair of legs. They have no eyes.
