NYMPHAL CHARACTERS AND HIGHER CLASSIFICATION ANALYSIS IN THE MIRIDAE (HEMIPTERA: HETEROPTERA) WITH A SUBFAMILY KEY BASED ON THE NYMPHS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
A key to the subfamilies of Miridae based on fourth and fifth instar nymphs is provided and the value of some nymphal characters in arriving at relationships between the subfamilies is discussed. It is suggested that the reduction of parempodia to bristles most likely occurred twice in the family rather than that membranous parempodia were twice evolved. The Hyaliodes group is reviewed and the subfamily status accorded it by some authors is confirmed.
