Analyses conducted using repetitive DNAs have contributed to better understanding the chromosome structure and evolution of several species of insects. There are few data on the organization, localization, and evolutionary behavior of repetitive DNA in the family Lygaeidae, especially in Brazilian species. To elucidate the physical mapping and evolutionary events that involve these sequences, we cytogenetically analyzed three species of Lygaeidae and found 2n (♂) = 18 (16 + XY) for Oncopeltus femoralis; 2n (♂) = 14 (12 + XY) for Ochrimnus sagax; and 2n (♂) = 12 (10 + XY) for Lygaeus peruvianus. Each species showed different quantities of heterochromatin, which also showed variation in their molecular composition by fluorochrome Genetics and Molecular Research 13 (1): 2186-2199 (2014) ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Physical mapping in Lygaeidae 2187 staining.

INTRODUCCION Los Coreoidea son representados en Nicaragua por solo tres familias: Coreidae, Alydidae y Rhopalidae. Son en general fitófagos y a veces de importancia económica, atacando algunos cultivos. Morfológicamente pueden identificarse por presentar los siguientes caracteres: antenas de 4 segmentos, presencia de ocelos, labio de 4 segmentos, membrana de las alas anteriores con numerosas venas. Los Coreidae se caracterizan por un tamaño mediano a grande, en general mayor de un centímetro. Los fémures posteriores son a veces engrosados y las tibias posteriores a veces parecen pedazos de hojas, de donde deriva el nombre común en Nicaragua "chinches patas de hojas". Los Alydidae son alargados, delgados, con cabeza ancha y las ninfas ocasionalmente son miméticas de hormigas. Son especies de tamaño mediano, generalmente mayor de un centímetro. Los Rhopalidae son chinches pequeñas, muchas veces menores de un centímetro y con la membrana habitualmente con venación reducida.

Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann 1910 is known as the western conifer seed bug and is an impor- tant pest species in North America feeding on seeds of conifers. The overwintering adults enter households and factories and cause nuisance to people. This pest species has been introduced in Europe through trans- portation and spread rapidly over the continent after its first appearance in northern Italy in 1999. In Turkey it has been found in Edirne and Kırklareli (Lüleburgaz) in Turkish Thrace in October 2009 and in Novomber 2010, respectively, representing the first record of this alien Nearctic genus and species in the country. This study reports identification characters of the species, its host plants, details about its biology and a map of its most recent distribution throughout Europe.

  • Introduction to True Bugs (Heteroptera) of the Neotropics
    Chapter 1 Introduction to True Bugs (Heteroptera) of the Neotropics Antônio R. Panizzi and Jocêlia Grazia Abstract True bugs (Heteroptera) are a diverse and complex group of insects, particularly in the neotropics. The fauna ofthese bugs has been investigated through time, but our knowledge of the species living in the Neotropical Region is lirnited. ln this introductory chapter, we give a general view on true bugs c1assification and biogeography, with concise comments on their general characteristics and bioecology of each major taxon that comprise each of the seven infraorders of Heteroptera. 1.1 Introduction The true bugs (Heteroptera) constitute a very interesting widely distributed group of insects, which is greatly diversified in tropical zones. Considered the largest group of insects with incomplete metamorphosis, heteropterans have been studied on both basic and applied aspects worldwide. Along the years, several books have been published on Heteroptera, the majority on specific aspects, such as certain groups (taxa) of particular areas, and others on more general comprehensive issues. Of more broad interest, two books about the latter were published relatively recently. The first was dedicated to the c1assification and natural history of true bugs in particular, with insights on the history of the study of Heteroptera, how to collect and preserve true bugs, historical biogeogra- A.R.

Knowledge of the insect fauna in Serra do Mar in the states of São Paulo and Paraná the park is scarce and the Heteroptera have never been in Brazil, and through most of Misiones province in studied. In this work, 134 species from 17 families of Argentina (Galindo-Leal and Câmara 2003; Giraudo et Heteroptera collected in Moconá Provincial Park and al. 2003). The Atlantic Forest complex includes fifteen surrounding areas included in the Yabotí Biosphere ecoregions, the largest one is the Parana Forest, also Reserve, are listed.

Abstract In the competition for the opposite sex, sexual selection can favor production of exaggerated features, but the high cost of such features in terms of energy consumption and enemy avoidance makes them go to extinction under the influence of natural selection. However, to our knowledge, fossil on exaggerated traits that are conducive to attracting opposite sex are very rare. Here, we report the exaggerated leaf- like expansion antennae of Magnusantenna wuae Du & Chen gen. et sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Coreidae) with more abundant sensory hairs from a new nymph coreid preserved in a Cretaceous Myanmar amber.

Comparative Cytogenetics 7(2): 111–129. doi: 10.3897/CompCytogen.v7i2.4462 Abstract Male meiosis behaviour and heterochromatin characterization of three big water bug species were studied. Belostoma dentatum (Mayr, 1863), B. elongatum Montandon, 1908 and B. gestroi Montandon, 1903 pos- sess 2n = 26 + X1X2Y (male). In these species, male meiosis is similar to that previously observed in Belos- toma Latreille, 1807. In general, autosomal bivalents show a single chiasma terminally located and divide reductionally at anaphase I.
