Ghilianella beckeri sp. nov. of Emesinae from Brazil (Hemiptera, Reduviidae)
Ghilianella beckeri sp. nov. of Emesinae from Brazil (Hemiptera, Reduviidae). Ghilianella beckeri n. sp. of Emesinae from Rondônia State, Brazil is described. The most similar species to G. beckeri sp. nov. is G. approximata (McAtee & Malloch 1925). Males of G . beckeri n. sp. can be separated from G. approximata because the latter has: (1) seventh tergite much shorter, slightly surpassing pygo...
متن کاملOcelliemesina sinica, the second ocelli-bearing genus and species of thread-legged bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Emesinae).

متن کاملToxic associations: A review of the predatory behaviors of millipede assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Ectrichodiinae)
Millipedes (Diplopoda) are a diverse group of arthropods that include 16 orders represented by approximately 12,000 species in 145 families (Sierwald & Bond, 2007). In 11 of these orders, millipedes are protected from predators by chemical defenses produced in glands that vary in number among orders and are located laterally or mid-dorsally in the diplosegments (Eisner et al., 1978; Hopkin & Re...
متن کاملA taxonomic review of the polymorphic assassin bug genus Rihirbus Stål (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Harpactorinae).
Two species in the genus Rihirbus Stål are recognized, redescribed and illustrated. The diagnosis of the genus is slightly modified. The deposition information of Miller's type specimens is corrected. Rihirbus trochantericus Stål is newly recorded from Cambodia, Laos, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. A key for the identification of species of Rihirbus is provided. The sexual dimorphism and polymor...
متن کاملEvolutionary History of Assassin Bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Reduviidae): Insights from Divergence Dating and Ancestral State Reconstruction
Assassin bugs are one of the most successful clades of predatory animals based on their species numbers (∼6,800 spp.) and wide distribution in terrestrial ecosystems. Various novel prey capture strategies and remarkable prey specializations contribute to their appeal as a model to study evolutionary pathways involved in predation. Here, we reconstruct the most comprehensive reduviid phylogeny (...
