From: The modern morphometric approach to identify eggs of Triatominae
Panstrongylus chinai egg in ventral (left), dorsal (center) and lateral (right) positions. The local flattening is located on the dorsal side of the egg. The drawings at the top of the figure show the eggs as deposited on the platform (Pl, see Fig. 2), the three bottom pictures are the eggs as envisioned by the camera objective (see the vertical arrow on the top). According to the egg position on the platform, the camera captures a possible different contour, which is obvious when the egg is put on its lateral side (rightmost picture). Abbreviations: Pl, platform; V, ventral side; D, dorsal side; L, lateral side
