The female lies at the end of a burrow in the epidermis, in situationswhere the skin is most delicate, as between the fingers,at the elbows, and under the knees, in the groin, and onthe penis, very seldom in the face, but in anj delicatepart. In this burrow, some millimeters to a centimeterlong, the female deposits her eggs. The male is seldomseen, dying after copulation, and the female after deposit-ing her eggs.
