Estudo anatômico e morfométrico dos folículos testiculares de algumas espécies de Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
Analysis of the length of testis of triatomines, whose lengths (long, medium and short) and thicknesses (thick and thin) vary considerably between the genera, and little between the species. A total of 336 species of triatomines were observed, since the majority of the material belongs to the …

Contribuição ao estudo comparativo da genitália externa em sub-famílias de Reduviidae (Hemiptera-Heteroptera)
Five representatives of the Reduviid sub-families (Microtominae, Piratinae, Ectrichodiinae, Reduvinae and Triatominae), were studied with special reference to the morphology of the male and female genitalia. Drawings were made of the Terminalia from various angles (dorsal, ventral and lateral) to …

Barking up the right tree : the evolutionary and ecological drivers of niche diversification and an adaptive radiation in feather-legged assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Holoptilinae)
… radiation. Here we use a lesser-known group of Reduviidae, the feather-legged assassin bug (Holoptilinae), as a study system to test these criteria. Ptilocnemus Westwood 1840 is an endemic Australian genus that exhibits a remarkable shift in total body size (4 – 10.5mm), a feature thought to be …
