Konopko, Susana Amanda, Mazzucconi, Silvia Ana & Ruf, Monica Lopez, 2013, Studies on the chorionic structure of the eggs of Corixoidea (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) with scanning electron microscopy, Zootaxa 3737 (3), pp. 223-240 : 228

Heterocorixa brasiliensis

( Figs. 7–9 )

Chorionic surface with smooth polygonal units, delimited by clearly distinguishable raised edges ( Fig. 8 ); fine pores not distinguishable. The polygonal units are also present in the transitional zone to the stalk ( Fig. 9 ). There is no nipple structure on the anterior micropylar flat area ( Fig. 7 ).

Additional data. Shape elongate, oval; color yellow; flattened at one side, with a very long stalk ( Fig. 9 ).
