One was a third instar " Rhodnius ", the other was a fourth instar.
2.
The first observation of activity from JHEH was in " Rhodnius prolixus " and " Schistocerca gregaria ".
3.
"Rhodnius prolixus " is also known as the kissing bug because it tends to feed on the area around victims'mouths.
4.
In this study, two adult " Rhodnius " had their blood systems linked, ensuring that the JH titre in both would be equal.
5.
Examples include " Rhodnius prolixus ", a South American assassin bug, and " Cimex lectularius ", the human bed bug.
6.
At up to in length, " Dipetalogaster " is the largest species of the subfamily, but otherwise it resembles the better-known " Rhodnius prolixus ".
7.
"P . geniculatus " is apparently in the process of domiciliation, using the same strategies as highly domesticated species like " Triatoma infestans " and " Rhodnius prolixus ".
8.
When the fourth instar " Rhodnius " had its corpora allata removed, both contained a third instar level of JH and hence one proceeded to instar four, and the other remained at this instar.
9.
The salivary nitrophorin from the hemipteran " Cimex lectularius " ( bedbug ) has no sequence similarity to " Rhodnius prolixus " nitrophorins but is homologous to the inositol-polyphosphate 5-phosphatase ( ).
10.
""'Rhodnius " "'is a genus of assassin bugs in the subfamily Triatominae ( the kissing bugs ), and is an important Sir Vincent Wigglesworth's studies of insect physiology, specifically growth and development.
