Buibui-mjeledi

Buibui-mjeledi (kutoka Kiing. whip spider) ni arithropodi wa oda Amblypygi katika ngeli Arachnida wafananao na buibui wa kawaida. Kama hawa wana miguu minane lakini hawawezi kusokota nyuzi za hariri. Mwili wao una sehemu mbili kama buibui: kefalotoraksi (cephalothorax: kichwa na kidari) na fumbatio zilizoungwa kwa pediseli (pedicel) nyembamba kwa umbo wa mrija. Mgongo wa kefalotoraksi ni ngumu na kwa hivyo huitwa gamba (carapace). Kinyume na buibui kelisera (chelicerae) za buibui-mjeledi ni fupi na pedipalpi ni ndefu zenye gando kama kaa. Pedipalpi hutumika kwa kukamata mawindo na kelisera kwa kuyakatakata. Miguu sita tu hutumika kwa kutembea. Jozi ya kwanza imekuwa miembamba na mirefu sana mpaka zaidi ya mara nne urefu wa mwili (inafanana na mijeledi, asili ya jina lao) na hutumika kama vipapasio. Buibui-mjeledi hula arithropodi wengine.
