“…laticornis showed pre-reduction division for the X chromosome and the autosomes. This type of division, although common for organisms with monocentric chromosomes (Ueshima, 1979), is relatively uncommon for heteropterans, which usually present the first meiotic division as equational for the sex chromosomes (Ueshima, 1979), as showed by Ueshima (1979), Papeschi et al (2003), Bressa et al (2005), Souza (2009), Souza et al (2007a,b, 2011), and Castanhole et al(20082010;2012). However, pre-reduction division was also reported for species of the genus Pachylis (P. aff pharaonis, P. argentinus, P. lateralis), Archimerus (A. alternatus e A. calcarator) (Coreidae), the genus Anisops (A. fieberi, A. niveae, and A. sardea) (Notonectidae), Ectrychote dispar (Reduviidae), as well as for all species of the family Tingidae, prior to cytogenetic study (Ueshima, 1979;Papeschi et al, 2003, Ramos, 2009.…”
