Torocyte shaped endovesicles with a low relative volume were induced in human erythrocytes by polyethyleneglycol dodecylether (C12E8). It is suggested that the torocyte endovesicles are formed in a process where an initially stomatocytic invagination loses volume while maintaining its large surface area. The boundaries of the phase diagram of the observed torocytes are described.
