Exaerete smaragdina (Guérin­Méneville) View in CoL

The mature oocyte/egg of this species was recently described and illustrated by Garófalo and Rozen (2001), but the micropyle was not evident. SEM examination of one of the specimens studied by them now reveals that the micropyle is a multipored cluster at the anterior pole (fig. 51). Numerous narrow polygons with raised borders radiate from it, with these borders disappearing a short distance away.
