Karyotype diversity among predatory Reduviidae (Heteroptera) [PDF]
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2014 Species of infraorder Cimicomorpha of Heteroptera exhibit holokinetic chromosomes with inverted meiosis for sex chromosomes and high variation in chromosome number. The family Reduviidae, which belongs to this infraorder, is also recognized by high variability of heterochromatic bands and chromosome location of 18S rDNA loci.

Trapping sylvatic Triatominae (Reduviidae) in hollow trees [PDF]
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1999 This work reports the trial of a very simple trapping system (comprising small plastic bottles (9 X 6 cm) covered with double coated adhesive tape and containing a mouse as bait ) to collect all instars of triatomines in hollow trees, a favourable ecotope for many triatomine species including T. sordida, T. guasayana, and T. infestans 'dark morphs'
