Image of Peramphithoe humeralis
Description:
This female was carrying at least 11 larvae in her oostegite brood bpouch, Two of the larvae are shown above. They are about 3 mm long plus the antennae. The young appeared to be sticking their heads (cephalon) out and peering out from the pouch as the mother moved around, so I am guessing they are nearing the time when they can safely leave the mother.
