Revision of the Neotropical genus Leogorrus Stål (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

Abstract: The present work provides a revised diagnosis of the genus Leogorrus Stål and its species, digital figures of habitus, and illustrations of the male and female genitalia, as well as a key to the species. Two synonymies are established: L. incommodus (Walker) as junior synonym of L. ochropus (Stål), and L. insculptus Hussey of L. minusculus (Walker). Lectotype specimens are designated for all valid species. The fifth instars of L. litura (Fabricius) is described a… Show more

“…La mayor riqueza de Harpactorinae se puede atribuir a que sus individuos se encuentran habitualmente en diversos microhábitats tales como vegetación baja, en hojarasca o árboles caídos y durante el día en lugares soleados (BRAILOVSKY et al, 2007); lo que facilita de cierta manera su búsqueda y captura en este tipo de hábitats que son muy comunes en el área de estudio; además de ser la subfamilia más grande de Reduviidae con 51 géneros para la región neotropical (MALDONADO, 1990, que se encuentra constituida principalmente de depredadores generalistas (READIO, 1927, LOUIS, 1974. La alta abundancia de la subfamilia Reduviinae se atribuye a que es considerada una de las más heterogéneas debido a su distribución (MELO, 2007). Adicional a lo anterior, este resultado se debe a que Zelurus presentó un incremento del número de individuos en solo dos muestreos, lo que aportó de manera significativa en la abundancia de Reduviidae que se tenía hasta el momento.…”
