Introduction
This work continues a series of articles devoted to the morphology of eggs of noctuids from the fauna of
Ukraine (Dolinskaya, 2010; Dolinskaya, Geryak, 2010). Before our investigations the detailed line drawings
illustrated the eggs of 107 European species belonging to subfamily Xyleninae were presented by Döring (1955).
The eggs of Gortyna borelii from England illustrated by Ringwood and other (2002). The eggs of one European
species of Xyleninae from Poland were described and illustrated by Skudlik with authors (Skudlik et al., 2005).
The eggs of 14 species of Canadian Xyleninae (= Amphipyrinae sensu Salkeld) were described and illustrated
with scanning electron microscopy by Salkeld (1984).
Material and methods
This work is based on the original material collected by the author in Ukraine. The eggs were obtained
from females captured in the field. The eggs of 5 species (Hoplodrina blanda Denis et Schiffermüller, Cirrhia
icteritia Hufnagel, Lithophane ornitopus Hufnagel, Eupsilia transversa Hufnagel and Mniotype satura Denis et
Schiffermüller) withdrawn from the abdomen of dry females kindly given by Mr. Yu. Geryak (State Natural
History Museum, Lvov, Ukraine). The eggs were examined with the use of a scanning electron microscopy.
The Noctuinae species were identified by Dr. A. Matov (Zoological Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia),
Dr. Yu. Budashkin (Karadag Nature Reserve, Crimea, Ukraine) and Mr. Yu. Geryak (State Natural History
Museum, Lvov, Ukraine).
The systematic arrangement follows Fibiger and Hacker, 2004.

Discussion
Chorion sculpture in subfamily Xyleninae as well as in subfamily Noctuinae
(Dolinskaya, Geryak, 2010) is of two types – cellular and ridged.
Cellular sculpture is characteristic only for Dicycla oo.
Ridged sculpture is typical for other studied species – Paradrina clavipalpis,
Hoplodrina blanda, Hoplodrina ambigua, Rusina ferruginea, Charanyca trigrammica,
Cosmia trapezina, Trachea atriplicis, Polyphaenis viridis, Thalpophila matura, Phlogophora

meticulosa, Cirrhia icteritia, Conistra rubiginea, Lithophane ornitopus, Eupsilia transversa,
Mniotype satura.
Ridges forming ribbed sculpture either straight or variously wavy. As in the subfam-
ily Noctuinae longest ridges are often with high comb, especially in anterior portions of
egg (Hoplodrina blanda, H. ambigua, Thalpophila matura, Trachea atriplicis, Paradrina
clavipalpis, Charanyca trigrammica).
Straight ridges are typical for next species – Paradrina clavipalpis, Hoplodrina blan-
da, Hoplodrina ambigua, Charanyca trigrammica, Trachea atriplicis, Thalpophila matura,
Phlogophora meticulosa, Conistra rubiginea.
For Paradrina clavipalpis clear distinguishing characters are undisclosed. Longitudinal
ridges are wider than transwerse ridges.
For Hoplodrina – clear distinguishing characters of the genus are also undisclosed.
Longitudinal ridges are slightly wider than transversal ridges.
In Hoplodrina blanda rosette is with 9—10 petalled cells. Longitudinal ridges radi-
ate from tertiary cells.
In Hoplodrina ambigua rosette is with 11—13 cells. Longitudinal ridges radiate from
secondary cells.
Charanyca trigrammica micropylar and secondary cells are deeply folded. The rest
of surface is smooth.
Trachea atriplicis and Thalpophila matura possess by rosette with elevated walls.
Secondary cells are slightly expressed. Area by which egg attached to substrate is cellular.
In Trachea atriplicis longitudinal ridges are wide with sharply expressed aeropyles.
Transverse ridges are clearly expressed.
In Thalpophila matura longitudinal ridges are narrow. Transverse ridges are weakly
expressed. Aeropyles are slightly expressed.
In Phlogophora meticulosa cells of 3—5 series typical – narrow and long. All egg sur-
face is pitted.
In Conistra rubiginea rosette and smooth area of secondary cells rounded by sharply raised
ring. The species has 8 of the 32 slightly wavy longitudinal ridges radiate from rosette cells.
Wavy ridges are typical for Rusina ferruginea Cosmia trapezina Polyphaenis viridis
Cirrhia icteritia Lithophane ornitopus, Eupsilia transversa, Mniotype satura.
In Rusina ferruginea longitudinal ridges are narrow, wavy with clearly expressed
aeropyles.
In Cosmia trapezina longitudinal ridges are interrupted. Sculpture is expressed only
in apical part of egg, very sharply pebbled.
In Polyphaenis viridis longitudinal ridges are wide, nonuniformly waved, rosette is
sharply expressed with 4 rows of cells.
In Cirrhia icteritia longitudinal ridges are herringbone-pattened. Rosette is deeply
folded.
In Lithophane ornitopus, Eupsilia transversa longitudinal ridges are sharply zig-zag
expressed.
In Mniotype satura longitudinal ridges are slightly herringbone-pattened. Longitudinal
ridges and 1—4 series of cells are very sharply expressed.
Also I found out that the eggs of some species (Hoplodrina octogenaria, Tiliacea cit-
rago) being withdrawn from the female abdomen are spherical, but after laying eggs by
female the area where the eggs are attached to substrate becomes flat. Eggs get hemispher-
ical shape. In addition in the majority of species the base of eggs is without sculpture.
Perhaps it is caused by the fact that flat base of the egg having no sculpture is adapted
for more durable joint with substrate. Moreover, mycropylar rosette of many species
(Eupsilia transversa, Lithophane ornitopus, Trachea atriplicis, and others) risen above the
egg surface probably in order to relieve the penetration of spermatozoa.
