A longitudinal study of two species of Belostoma Latreille (Heteroptera: Belostomatidae): allometry and ontogeny

Abstract: Neotropical Entomology 37 (6):662-667 (2008) Estudio Longitudinal en Dos Especies de Belostoma Latreille (Heteroptera: Belostomatidae): Alometría y Ontogenia RESUMEN -Los patrones de crecimiento alométrico de los segmentos del rostro y de las patas de Belostoma elegans (Mayr) y B. cummingsi De Carlo son presentados y comparados por primera vez. Se emplearon datos longitudinales de todos los estadios ninfales en un contexto multivariado. Los segmentos de la pata media y posterior presentan coefi cientes alom… Show more

“…To evaluate the ecotoxicological action of organic pollution in freshwater systems, we selected the water bug Belostoma elegans Mayr, 1871. This aquatic insect belongs to Belostomatidae family which includes nearly 150 species distributed almost all over the world (Iglesias et al 2008). Belostoma genus is distributed throughout the American continent and it comprises about 60 species.…”

“…Sexual size dimorphism is also an indicator of genetic variability. 37,43 The difference in the morphological traits was also prominent between normal and infected individuals of C. spectra. For all these traits, the parasitized individuals had a higher value than the normal ones (Fig.…”

“…As a result, the segments of the middle and hind legs present allometric coefficients with opposite polarity to those of forelegs owing to the different functions of the legs; the main function of forelegs is to capture the prey, whereas the middle and hind legs are adapted to swimming (Iglesias et al . ). A similar result was reported in Diplonychus rusticus (Doke et al .…”
