Lepidoptera Dahlica triquetrella Dahlica lichenella chorion micropyle micropyle pores

Abstract

The egg chorion morphologies of Dahlica triquetrella (Hübner, 1813) and Dahlica lichenella (Linnaeus, 1761) are described. These two species well differ from each other by diameter of the micropyle, by number of micropyle pores, and by diameter of the micropyle rosette.
