(n=20) ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 : e1,2)

The egg elongation expressed as the height/length ratio is 54 ± 3% and the lateral flattening as the width/height ratio is 92 ± 4%. The general egg shape is ellipsoidal, flattened towards the anterior pole (80%) ( 10) or ovoid (20%) ( 11). The capsule color is brown ( 20) with texture slightly rugose ( 31). The micropylar plate is lanceolate shaped ( 40), smooth ( 50), with edges above the capsule plane ( 60), its color is brown-reddish ( 72) and the internal micropylar plate is open ( 80). Opercular angle is -29.39º ± 4.39. The operculum has a circular shape ( 90), same than the rest of the capsule ( 100) and its texture is slightly rugose ( 111).

Ultrastructure ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 : e1,2): The capsule ultrastructure surface is rugose ( 123), as well as the micropylar plate ultrastructure surface ( 131). The micropylar cup has a veil ( 141). The ultrastructure surface of the operculum is rugose ( 150).
