Observaciones sobre la nidificación de Rhinocricus duvernoyi (Karsch 1881) (Diplopoda: Spirobolida: Rhinocricidae) en el Paisaje Natural Protegido Escaleras de Jaruco-Tapaste-Cheche.

Rhinocricus duvernoyi (Karsch 1881) is an endemic diplopod from Cuba that lives in the west of the archipelago, in micro-localities like the Escaleras de Jaruco-Tapaste-Cheche Protected Natural Landscape, the place where the study was carried out. The place was visited periodically from April to September for 5 years. In the field, laying sites were observed and the number of eggs from each site was counted; in the laboratory eggs were measured and photographed. The eggs are spherical, white, 1.9 mm in diameter, and are associated with the feces of the same species. The laying of eggs takes place in groups of individuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
