External Morphology of Triatoma rickmani Zeledón & Ponce, 1972 by Scanning Electron Mi croscopy - A male of Triatoma ryckmani Zeledón & Ponce, 1972, was studied by scanning electron
microscopy. Only few specimens of this species are known. In this paper, some structures from the head,
thorax, abdomen and distal region of the second leg are shown. Some of them could have taxonomic
importance, as the oculo-ocellar region, the buccula, the anterolateral angle of the collar, the scutellum
with the process longer than the main body, the stridulatory sulcus with an unusual backward vermiform
area, and the tibia-tarsal articulation, with a spongy fossula. The last structure was absent in specimens
previously studied (Lent & Wygodzinsky 1979). Differences between this specimen and others previ ously described by several authors are dicussed. |
