Galgupha (Euryscytus) difficilis

(Figs. 1–6).

Eggs were deposited on the bottom of the plastic container or at the

bases of the plant branches; they were laid singly or in pairs and, if paired, attached to each other at a right angle (Fig. 1).

Description. Egg cylindrical with rounded ends, slightly narrower at anterior pole, white; chorion shiny and translucent (Fig. 1). Chorion surface, either with SM or SEM, generally smooth but often with faint longitudinal carinae (Figs. 1–3). Under SEM, center of anterior pole granulated (Fig. 4), sometimes mostly smooth (Fig. 5). Length: 0.8 ± 0.01; width: 0.5 ± 0.02 (0.5–0.6) (n = 7). Micropylar processes (MP) circularly arranged around anterior pole (Figs. 4, 5); mean number of MP 3 ± 0.6 (2–4). Each MP translucent, short, stalked, slightly capitate; apical opening circular; under higher magnification, surface not spongy (Fig. 6).
