Sk. Sharan et al., VARIATION IN THE STRUCTURE AND AMINO-ACID-COMPOSITION OF THE EGGSHELLOF DABA AND ANDHRA LOCAL ECORACES OF ANTHERAEA-MYLITTA DRURY, Journal of advanced zoology, 16(1), 1995, pp. 26-29
Variation in the structure and amino add composition of the chorion of
Daba and Andhra local ecoraces of Antheraea mylitta Drury [Lepidopter
a : Saturniidae] were recorded. The structural differences in the flat
surface of the eggshell as well as the shape of the aeropyles in both
the ecoraces, suggest the adaptability of the population of Daba and
Andhra local ecoraces of A. mylitta with their original sites of colle
ction.
