“…2-4); however, without any particular trend to establish a pattern of sculpture for the chorion. This appears to be characteristic of Pen tatomidae (Sa et al 2013) and other Hemiptera (Paez-Colasante and Aldana 2008, San doval et al 2011, Pikart et al 2012, Diptera (Costa et al 2012), and the Ephemeroptera (Salles et al 2007) species, showing that the chorion sculpture can be significant for taxonomy.…”

Brontocoris tabidus (Signoret)and Supputius cincticeps (Stal) (Heteroptera: Pentato midae) are natural enemies of lepidopteran defoliator pests. Therefore, more detailed information regarding the morphology of their eggs will certainly enhance the identification of these predators during the initial developmental stages for easy recognition of their presence in the field. In this study, eggshell morphology and morphometry of B. tabidus and S. cincticeps were examined. The diameter of the B. tabidus eggs was 2.03 ± 0.12 mm, height of 2.86 ± 0.08 mm, and the number of aero-micropylar processes were 14.8 ± 0.74; for eggs of the S. cincticeps, the diameter was 1.80 ± 0.32 mm, height 2.05 ± 0.27, and aero-micropylar processes 12.6 ± 1.18 mm. The eggs are oval to subglobose in shape, narrowing from the base to the apex; the operculum is circular convex with a circular array of aero-micropylar process on the anterior pole of the egg. The spicules seen on the flattened side of the B. tabidus and S. cincticeps eggs are fewer than those found in the operculum. Egg height and the number of aero-micropylar processes were higher in B. tabidus than in S. cincticeps. Such distinctive characters enable the identification of these predator's eggs.

“…Posterolateral spines on abdominal terga are described as "twisted" by Salles et al (2007) and "crumpled" by Kluge (2007), but our specimens did not necessarily presented twisted or crumpled spines. In fact, the spines were found to be quite flexible, appearing twisted or not according to the individual.…”

The former monotypic genus Oligoneuria Pictet was known solely by a female subimago of the type-species Oligoneuria anomala Pictet. A new species of the genus Oligoneuria from the Atlantic rainforest of Macaé, Rio de Janeiro is described. The description was based in males and females imagos of Oligoneuria macabaiba sp. nov. caught with light traps. This species presents similar wing venation, abdominal posterolateral spines, as well as a membranous extension on anterior portion of the head as seen in the genus. Based on features of the new species, the genus is herein redefined. The species represents the first record of the genus from Southeastern Brazil.

“…Salles et al (), working on material from the Brazilian Amazon basin, were finally able to associate one of these unusual nymphs to a recognizable taxon with confidence: Oligoneurioides amazonicus . Based on this material, the imagos of the species were redescribed, and the nymphs and eggs were described for the first time.…”

“…The genus was described based on imagos of a single species, O. amazonicus Demoulin, 1955, from the same area where the supposed nymphs of Spaniophlebia were found. Salles et al (2007), working on material from the Brazilian Amazon basin, were finally able to associate one of these unusual nymphs to a recognizable taxon with confidence: Oligoneurioides amazonicus. Based on this material, the imagos of the species were redescribed, and the nymphs and eggs were described for the first time.…”

For 150 years O. anomala has been the only known species of Oligoneuria, the type genus of the Oligoneuriidae (Ephemeroptera). However, two species have been recently described and Oligoneuria has been proposed as a senior synonym of the genus Oligoneurioides. In the present paper, based on material from the Amazon and Brazilian Atlantic Forest, three new species are described, including information on all life stages. Given these new species, as well as the lack of cladistic support for the proposed synonymy between Oligoneuria and Oligoneurioides, a phylogenetic analysis was performed in order to address the relationships between all species and to test the status of Oligoneurioides. Our results show that the status of the genus is uncertain, mainly due to the lack of knowledge of the type species of O. anomala, known exclusively from a female subimago. Taking into account phylogenetic as well as taxonomic arguments, we propose that the genus Oligoneuria should be divided into three subgenera: Oligoneuria s.s., for O. anomala; Oligoneuria (Yawari) new subgenus, for Oligoneuria truncata sp.n.; and Oligoneuria (Oligoneurioides) for the remaining five species, including O. amandae sp.n. and O. mitra sp.n.
