A revision of Sphaeridops (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae)

Zootaxa, 2021
Based on a re-examination of the type materials of all described species and additional non-type specimens, the genus Sphaeridops Amyot & Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Sphaeridopinae) is revised. Sphaeridops eulus Maldonado & Santiago-Blay, 1992 is downgraded to a new synonym of S. amoenus (Lepeletier & Serville, 1825);

Bursal glands of Reduviidae (Insecta—Heteroptera) [PDF]

open access: possibleProceedings: Animal Sciences, 1988
In Reduviidae, the glandular outgrowths from the bursa either as paired or as a single median gland distinctly different from the paired subrectal glands are described as the bursal glands. The occurrence of such female accessory glands has been investigated in 22 species of Reduviidae. Based on their development, the glands are classified into 3 types.

Biological, behavioural and morphological tools in the biosystematics of Reduviidae (Insecta—Heteroptera—Reduviidae)

Proceedings: Animal Sciences, 1987
Biosystematic studies of 3 subfamilies of Reduviidae viz Acanthaspidinae, Harpactorinae and Piratinae have provided sufficient data for clear demarcations of these subfamilies in terms of biological, behavioural and morphological tools. Biological considerations involve incubation and stadial periods, hatchability, adult longevity, sex ratio and ...

Molecular Taxonomy of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)1

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1967
A taxonomic study of the subfamily Triatominae was conducted to determine systematic relationships using agar gel diffusion methods in the differentiation of ova antigens and electrophoresis to differentiate hemolymph proteins. Agar gel diffusion methods indicated that 2 distinctive Triatominae species from South America could be distinguished from ...

Etymology of Triatomine Species (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) [PDF]

open access: possibleZootaxa, 2009
Systematics is the branch of biology in which the groupings and biodiversity of living organisms are studied and identified, and its most notable fields are classification and nomenclature. In the present study, 112 species of triatomines for which the original descriptions could be accessed are listed.

Hematophagous Bugs (Reduviidae, Triatominae)

2015
The members of the subfamily Triatominae (Heteroptera, Reduviidae) are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas), the causative agent of Chagas disease or American trypanosomiasis. As important vectors, triatomine bugs have attracted ongoing attention, and thus, various aspects of their systematics, biology, ecology, biogeography, and evolution have been ...

Biology of Reduviidae of Cocoa Farms in Ghana [PDF]

open access: possibleAmerican Midland Naturalist, 1974
In the cocoa farms the members of family Reduviidae are distributed in a variety of habitats associated with particular food, defense and breeding requirements for various species. In general the ectrichodiines are exclusively litter dwellers and reduviines occur only under the loose bark of primary forest trees. The members. of subfamily Harpactorinae

Cytotaxonomy of the triatominae (Reduviidae: Hemiptera)

Chromosoma, 1966
The chromosome number and meiotic cycle of 20 species of Triatominae have been investigated. In the male, there are five types of chromosome complement: 20+XY, 20+X1X2Y, 20+X1X2X3Y, 18+XY and 22+XY.The cytological data suggest that the type number for the subfamily is 22 (20+XY). In the hybrids: Triatoma barberi (♀♀) and T.
