Description

Thoreyella maracaja Bernardes, Schwertner & Grazia, 2011

(Figs. 12, 74–76; Tab. 2)

Eggs with flat lateral walls, cross-section of chorion subquadrangular; light green prior to embryonic development; operculum subquadrangular and flat; chorion translucent and granulated, both at the lateral walls (Fig. 12) and at the operculum. The eclosion line not evident under SM, and the AMPs are circularly arranged in a row around the anterior pole, translucent, long, and filiform (Fig. 12).

The chorion surface appears mostly smooth under SEM but is clearly granulated at the lateral wall (Figs. 74, 75). In the micrographs, the eclosion line is obscured, and the AMPs are apparently smooth (Fig. 76).
