Remarks

Structure: In young adult female Etropera (just prior to egg production), the marsupium consists of two very strongly sclerotized unequal pouches, the anterior of which is unilobate and the posterior of which is bilobate. (Gavrilov, 2013) In older females containing eggs, it is a single thin sac with two strongly sclerotized “lips” at the opening
