(n=18) ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 : b1,2)

The egg elongation expressed as the height/length ratio is 52 ± 2% and the lateral flattening as the width/height ratio is 90 ± 3%. The general egg shape is ellipsoidal, flattened towards the anterior pole ( 10), The capsule is color brown ( 20), with rugose texture (66.6%) or slightly rugose (33.3%) ( 32). Micropylar plate lanceolate shaped ( 40), smooth ( 50), with edges in the same plane than the rest of the capsule ( 61) and brown ( 70). Internal micropylar plate open ( 80). Opercular angle is -16.69 ±3,12º. The shape of the operculum is orbicular ( 90), color brown ( 100) and of rugose texture as well as the rest of the capsule ( 111).

Ultrastructure ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 : b1,2): While the capsule ultrastructure surface has tubercles regularly distributed ( 120), the micropylar plate ultrastructure surface is slightly rugose ( 131). No micropylar cup veil is observed ( 141). The opercular surface has tubercles as well as the rest of the capsule ( 150).
