Egg: The egg, as seen at the time of collection, had no pigment. The oil globule was very pale amber, and was unevenly divided into two (A). The egg was not recognised as new, and unfortunately was not followed through development. Thus there is no record of the late embryo or incubation time.

Larva: The early larva was not seen, but 4 days post-collection, the larva in Plate C was found in the hatching bowl. C: 4 days PC (26°C).

 

Although this egg was only recorded once, on 18 February 1989, it is added here for the record.
