Description of the nymphs of Ectemnostega (Ectemnostegella) stridulata (Hungerford 1948) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Corixidae)

The egg and the five nymphal instars of Ectemnostega (Ectemnostegella) stridulata are described and illustrated for the first time, with emphasis on the morphometry and chaetotaxy of selected structures. Comparison with the eggs of E. (Ectemnostegella) montana and E. (Ectemnostegella) peruana, and t...

The nymphal characters most useful in identifying species of Ectemnostega are: the number of spines on the posteroventral surface of the mesofemur, spines on the anterodorsal surface of the metatibia, and spines and swimming hairs on the anteroventral and posterodorsal surfaces of the metatarsus. © 2010 Magnolia Press.
