Original data are presented which describe ova of the following six taxa in the Sterrhinae Meyrick, 1892: Idaea litigiosaria (Boisduval, 1840), Idaea sericeata calvaria Wehrli, 1927, Idaea ochrata albida (Zerny, 1936), Idaea incisaria (Staudinger, 1892), Idaea cervantaria (Millière, 1869) and >em>Scopula (Glossotrophia) asellaria dentatolineata Wehrli, 1926. Subsequent analysis of SEM imaging provides data related to the chorion structure, as well as that associated with the strategies adopted by females at oviposition under laboratory conditions; comparative data are provided of other European sterrhines.
