Abstract: ABSTRACT. The nymphal instars I and III-V of Sigara (Tropocorixa) denseconscripta (Breddin, 1897) are figured and described in detail, for the first time, with emphasis on morphometry and chaetotaxy of selected structures. The useful characters to identify the nymphal instars and the nymphs of the species of Sigara are provided.
