(Fig. 10 A, B). Eggs average 1181 ± 52.47 in length and 1141 ± 41.39 μm in width (n = 11), 1.03 times longer than maximum diameter, and width/length ratio is 0.96. Egg is globose foam, quasi-spheroidal and very sinuous on knolls; apical region is flat, and base convex, smooth, and of amplitude similar to that of apex; base is just over 1/7 the length of egg. Chorion exhibits six apical knolls with scalloped edges accented, and some are continuous; they extend to prebasal area and have pronounced slumps, two in first apical quarter and another at the equator (Fig. 10 A-i, ii, B-i). Only one or two of apical knolls bifurcate at same height as first two slumps of continuous knolls (Fig. 10 A-iii, B-iii). Background grid shows pentagonal, hexagonal, and irregular polygons, with rounded or aristate margins; size of polygons reduced by half at the beginning of first basal third, which delimits the prebasal grid of smooth or rough base (Fig. 10 A-iv). Polygons are of a constant size in the equatorial zone, but they increase in summits of knolls (Fig. 10 A-v). Macro-cells are on the summit of some knolls and are conspicuous concerning polygons that surround them (Fig. 10 A-vi); their size is four to six times that of the equatorial polygons, and they are found only in the first apical third. The size of the macro-cells is similar to those of H. feronia but smaller than those of H. iphthime. Micropylar zone has a tiny grid with an imperceptible organization (Fig. 10 B-vii); it is concave regarding apical surface. Color A 10 M 00 N 00.
Material examined: México: Oaxaca: El Puente, 3 Km al E de Choapam (17°22’38”N, 95°55’20”W), 620 msnm, 24-VIII-2015, trampa (ABD-1400), J. Llorente y col. (ABD-1401); San Miguel Solyatepec, Cerro Chango (18°10’13”N, 96°17’01.64”W), 48 msnm, 4-IX-2017, trampa (ABD-2013). Diagnosis and hierarchy of exocorionic characters in Ageroniini. As a result of the collection of characters in some species of Ageroniini, a summary of the chorionic characters of this tribe is presented in tabular form (Table 2). It also includes those found in the clade Hamadryas + Ectima, of both genera separately, and those of each group of species from Hamadryas sensu Jenkins (1983). The characters come from all the published previously descriptions (Table 3) and those from this work. Even where data are known for only one or two species within some groups, the characteristics are given because they represent a percentage of the total of taxa in those groups.
