J Med Entomol. 2001 Sep;38(5):753-5. doi: 10.1603/0022-2585-38.5.753.

Abstract

The eggs of Aedes lineatopennis (Ludlow) are described by means of a scanning electron microscopy. The Ae. lineatopennis egg has a rather boat-shaped, fragmented micropylar collar, and membrane-like wall enclosing many tubercles of exochorionic sculpture.
