(2004): Ultrastructure of the chorion of Dioctria flavipennis Meigen, 1820 (Diptera: Asilidae: Stenopogoninae) compared with those of fourteen asilid species from the mid-Atlantic region of North America. - Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 106(4): 811-825; Washington. The fine structure of egg morphology of Dioctria flavipennis Meigen 1820 was studied utilizing both scanning electron (SEM) and transmission (TEM) microscopy. Eggs from Aksaray, Turkey, averaged 0.4 mm in length and 0.3 mm in width and had a single micropylar opening at one end. Chorions were covered with small and large circular elevated structures. A micropylar region eclosion groove is reported for the first time. Sperm flagella were present in the micropylar region of some eggs. The endochorion and exochorion were distinguished from each other in TEM micrographs, the former being slighter more dense than the latter. Lamellar sheets, minute canals, and air ducts were also found. Additionally, the exochorion of the egg of D. flavipennis was compared with those (SEMs) of 14 asilid species from the mid-Atlantic region of North America: Atomosia pitella (Wiedemann), Cerotainia albipilosa Curran, Eudioctria tibialis (Banks), Holcocephala abdoininalis (Say), H. calva (Loew), Laphria divisor (Banks), L. flavicollis Say, L. ithypgi McAtee, L. sicula McAtee, L. virginica (Banks), Leptogaster flavipes Loew, Psilonyx annulatus (Say), Tipulogaster glabrata (Wiedemann), and Tolmerus sp. Brief comments about the phylogeny of the egg chorion and its adaptation to various enviromental conditions are included. Egg morphology may be useful to elucidate taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships among asilids. Candan S. & Suludere Z. & Kalender Y. & Eryilmaz Ö. (2004): Ultrastructure of the Chorion of Echthistus cognatus (Loew, 1849) (Diptera, Asilidae). - Ohio Journal of Science 104(4): 93–96; Bowling Green. The fine structure of the Echthistus cognatus (Loew 1849) chorion was studied using both transmission (TEM) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM). Females were collected in the field and kept under laboratory conditions. Eggs were individually deposited in cotton batting. They were a light yellow color and elongated in shape after the deposition, with an average length of 1.5 mm and an average width of 0.4 mm. Except for the micropylar region, ridges extend all over the surface of the chorion. Aeropyles with different size and shape were present between ridges. There is a single micropylar opening at one pole of the egg. In the thin section, chorion forms a single layer. Chorionic ridges and sunken area are seen in the section. Weber, G. & Lavigne, R.
