(n=14) ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 : d1,2)

The egg elongation expressed as the height/length ratio is 53 ± 5% and the lateral flattening as the width/height ratio is 85 ± 4%. The general egg shape is ellipsoidal, flattened towards the anterior pole ( 10). 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 -26.18 ±5.48°. The opercular shape is orbicular ( 90), brown colored ( 100) and rugose ( 111).

Ultrastructure ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 : d1,2): The capsule ultrastructure surface ( 123) and the micropylar plate ultrastructure surface ( 131) is rugose. The micropylar cup has a veil ( 141). The opercular surface is slightly rugose at the center becoming tuberculated towards the borders ( 150).
