Chaga · 1993 · English Abstract
Low relevance[Morphological study of ovum and nymphs of Dipetalogaster maximus (Uhler, 1894) (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae)].
Inonotus obliquus
Key points
- Intending to provide new parameters to be used in Triatomines' Taxonomy, vectors of Chaga's Disease and to amplify a large range of knowledge about this species, a study of the structure of the egg and external morphology of the five nymphal instars was done
- The eggs show under optical microscope (M.O.), the chorium's surface of the body and the operculum formed by poligonal areas, clearer under scanning electronic microscope (MEV)
- The apex of the third rostrum segment in all 5 instars nymphs, show 1 + 1 invaginated and elongated structures and the apical portion of the second tarsal segment presents a group of more or less numerous, very long, delicated and golden hairs
