@donhe, Approximation only: they are egg shaped, with the pointed end flattened where they are attached to the leaf, and stand about 0.5mm tall and about 0.4mm at their widest.

What was the approximate diameter of the eggs?

Perhaps a male came, copulated, and cleared off. Typical.

I do not think the head is light enough to be tetramita, also the thorax of tetramita is described as “whitish-ochreous, anterior third fuscous”, while in equidistans it is described as "black, anterior edge finely ochreous and an oval oblong spot posteriorly on dorsum ochreous"

Chiriphe equidistans
