Wings or hemelytra? brief considerations on terminology in studies with Triatominae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae)

The epidemiological significance and biological character of Triatominae are frequently explored, but errors in morphological terminology are common. We discuss the importance of using morphological terminology correctly. The incorrect use of the term “wing” to describe the hemelytron in the study o...
