Dear Bill
Here are some shots of another species of Gastropteridae from the Brunswick River that I can't identify. This was even smaller than the one in my previous message [#13294]]. It also appears to be carrying eggs but it is so small I can't tell.What do you think?

Locality: Brunswick River, N.S.W. Australia.  Depth: 1.5 metres, high tide. 3 mm, 4 March, 2005. Under rock, on rock wall. Photo: Denis Riek.

Dear Denis,
This is almost certainly the animal I am calling Siphopteron sp. 5. I can't see enough to be sure, but I suspect what you can see in this animal are the gills.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
