(
Figs. 14–15
)
Chorionic surface densely and finely pored, with polygonal units delimited by slightly distinguishable edges not raised from the surface (
Fig. 14
). Within each unit there are numerous small equidistant protuberances (
Fig. 14
). A nipple structure occurs on the anterior micropylar area, surrounded by a lamellated zone with a circular design (
Fig. 15
).
