Maccevethini

The following characteristics of eggs of the Maccevethini are based on descriptions of several Maccevethus and Stictopleurus species (see Table 1). Egg barrel-shaped, dorsal side convex. Surface of chorion with conspicuous structure, either uniformly reticulated over entire surface ( Stictopleurus ), or chorion with regular hexagonal structure except finer-structured areas on lateral sides and partly on ventral side; irregular hexagonal structure on pseudoperculum ( Maccevethus ). Pseudoperculum roughly circular, distinct. Two micropylar processes either rounded, swollen apically ( Stictopleurus , Maccevethus partim.), or short, helically bent at apex with opening lateral ( Maccevethus partim.). Short stalk described and/or illustrated on dorsal side in both genera by PUTSHKOVA (1955, 1957) and MOULET (1995), without detailed information about its origin. For Maccevethus corsicus, CANDAN et al. (2004) described direct deposition of eggs to a leaf.
