The Infraorder Coccomorpha (Insecta: Hemiptera)

Zootaxa, 2021
The scale insects (infraorder Coccomorpha) are the most morphologically specialised members of the Hemiptera. They form a monophyletic group within the suborder Sternorrhyncha, having one-segmented tarsi and a single claw (all other hemipterans have a double claw). They show extreme sexual dimorphism: the more-or-less sessile adult females are wingless

Mantodea of Panguana (Insecta: Dictyoptera)

Zootaxa, 2020
We present here the first illustrated checklist of the praying mantids (Mantodea) collected at the Panguana Field Station in Central Peru over the course of 50 years. The examination of over 430 specimens obtained mainly by light-trapping, but also other methods, revealed 44 species in 28 genera. Mantoida brunneriana, Mantoida cf.

Publisher Summary This chapter presents the classification of insect relationship on the present hypotheses. Within the class Insecta, major forms of insects are grouped in orders. Ordinal-level groups represent divergent lineages that are nearly always recognizable by a set of distinctive characteristics. Almost always, an adult insect can be readily

Comparative radiosensitivity in the class insecta

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1975
Abstract A “radiosensitivity index” (LT50/mean longevity) was correlated with the mean longevity and dry weight of 37 insect species (both sexes of 12 species) representing eight orders. Curvilinear regression analysis relating radiosensitivity to mean longevity and mean dry weight indicated that 46·3% of the observed variation could be attributed to
