Abstract | Mosquitoes of the Neotropical genus Sabethes, some species of which are yellow fever
vectors, most often develop through the immature stages in tree holes. Sabethes eggs have not been
previously characterized using scanning electron microscopy. Eggs of Sabethes cyaneus (length: 349.6 6
2.7 mm; width: 172.6 6 1.14 mm; n 5 10) are almost biconical when examined from the top. From a lateral
perspective 2 surfaces can be seen. One surface is smooth and more convex, whereas the other is less convex
and partially covered by a network from which many fungiform tubercles arise. The micropyle is situated on
the smooth surface of the pointed anterior tip and is surrounded by an irregular row of tubercles, some of
which are leaf shaped. No structures possibly involved in adhesion to surfaces are visible. When hatching, the
egg splits dorsoventrally approximately two-thirds of the length from the anterior end. The tubercles appear
to be water repellent, and the more convex/smoother surface is downturned, and this position on water was
confirmed by direct observation. The eggs float free on the water surface. | pt_BR |
