title: Development of complete embryos in drastically deformed leafhopper eggs.
abstract: The egg of the leafhopperEuscelis plebejus was deformed by involuting both egg poles in longitudinal direction until the egg poles touched inside the egg. Even under those conditions a complete germ band with normal sequence of segments may be formed.
