Egg Morphology of Twelve Species of Melolonthinae and Rutelinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

2015-09-01

Abstract excerpt

This study describes the morphometries and chorion microsculpturing of the eggs of 12 species of Melolonthinae and Rutelinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) belonging to seven genera. Egg size, shape, and color vary among species, and the chorion microsculpturing exhibits variation among and within genera. The length/width ratio was comparatively higher in Lepidiota mansueta Burmeister and Maladera insanabilis (Brenske...
