Description and ontogenetic morphometrics of nymphs of Belminus herreri Lent and Wygodzinsky (Hemiptera: Reduviidae, Triatominae)
Neotropical Entomology 34 (3), 491-497
Abstract: For the first time all instars of a species of the genus Belminus are described based on laboratory F1 generation specimens from adults caught in department of Cesar, Colombia. Ontogenetic morphometrics of postembryonic head development was made, suggesting that the greatest changes occur between the 1^st and 2^nd instars.
