Male egg guarding behavior in the neotropical harvestman Ampheres leucopheus (Mello-Leitão 1922)(Opiliones, Gonyleptidae)
The Journal of Arachnology, 2003•BioOne
Males of the Neotropical harvestman Ampheres leucopheus (Mello-Leitão 1922) were
observed guarding egg-batches attached to the undersurface of leaves. As recorded for
other paternal harvestmen, males of A. leucopheus guard egg-batches containing eggs in
different developmental stages as well as newly hatched nymphs. This is the second case of
paternal care recorded among gonyleptids and the fifth in the order Opiliones.

Abstract
Males of the Neotropical harvestman Ampheres leucopheus (Mello-Leitão 1922) were observed guarding egg-batches attached to the undersurface of leaves. As recorded for other paternal harvestmen, males of A. leucopheus guard egg-batches containing eggs in different developmental stages as well as newly hatched nymphs. This is the second case of paternal care recorded among gonyleptids and the fifth in the order Opiliones.
