(n=18) ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 : a1,2)

The egg elongation expressed as the height/length ratio is 49 ± 3% and the lateral flattening as the width/height ratio is 91 ± 4%. The general egg shape is ellipsoidal, flattened towards the anterior pole ( 10). The capsule colour is brown ( 20), and homogeneously rugose (83.3%) or slightly rugose (16.7%) throughout its extension ( 32). The texture of the micropylar plate is rugose ( 52) with acuminate shape ( 41), edges above the capsule plane ( 60) and brown ( 70). The internal micropylar plate is open ( 80) and brown as well as the external capsule surface. The opercular angle is -29.62 ±2.97°. The shape of the operculum is orbicular ( 90), its coloration is brown ( 100) and rugose texture ( 111).

Ultrastructure ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 : a1,2): Capsule ultrastructure surface with tubercles irregularly distribute ( 120). The micropylar plate ultrastructure surface is cracked ( 130), and its edges are above the plane of the capsule. No micropylar cup veil is observed ( 141). Opercular surface with tubercles as well as the rest of the capsule ( 150).
