Colobochyla salicalis ([Denis et Schiffermüller], 1775)

D e s c r i p t i o n. Egg subspherical ( fig. 12 , 13 ), diameter 0.6–0.7 mm (n = 2).

Chorion ridged, marked on two thirds surface. Micropylar area represented by rosette and 3 rows short and wide petalled cells. Rosette with 5 petalled cells and 5 micropylar openings ( fig. 14 ). There are 15–16 of the 44–47 zig-zag longitudinal ridges radiate from cells of micropylar area. Transverse walls less distinct and narrow than ridges. Aeropyles large, bordered by roller-like edges, diameter of which greater than width of ribs ( fig. 15 ). Chorion folded everywhere.

S h a p e o f g n a w e d h o l e s i n e g g s. Caterpillar nibbles out large oval opening at the lateral part of egg, sometimes opening being made apically.
