The eggs of Anopheles atropos and An. Darlingi are described by means of scanning electron micrographs. The egg of An. Atropos is conventionally structured, with both ventral anterior and posterior lobed tubercles, a relatively large deck, and small floats. The plastron lattice of the dorsal and lateral surfaces is mostly of the more open type. The small An. darlingi egg possesses a prominent and distinctive anterior crown-like structure formed from a very much reduced but elevated frill. The floats are positioned more ventrally than laterally, are contiguous anteriorly and posteriorly and sometimes fused or nearly so in the ventral mid-line. The dorsal and lateral plastron is blister-like.
