Abstract

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), was used to study the external chorionic structure of
potato moth eggs: Symmetrischema tangolias and Tecia solanivora (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). Differences
were observed between egg chorium reticulations for each moth species. The number of aeropyls and
micropyls per egg were reported and their superficial characteristics were differentiated and described in
this study. A confocal microscope was used to determine the size of the major and minor axes of the eggs.
These values were used to propose a stochastic mathematical model that identifies each species' eggs, and
to calculate their surface area and volume. Results indicate eggs of T. solanivora to be larger than those of
S. tangolias.
