chorion was thin and unsculptured, and they had a 

 single yellowish oil globule. Egg diameters ranged 

 from 1.21 to 1.34 mm (mean = 1.27 mm), and oil 

 globule diameters ranged from 0.12 to 0.17 mm 



(mean = 0.15 mm). Yolk diameters ranged from 

 0.80 to 1.19 mm (mean = 1.07 mm) and were large 

 relative to egg diameter. Our egg diameters and 

 oil globule diameters are much like those reported
