The use of cytogenetic tools, molecular markers and ultrastructural have been very useful in the identification and analysis of genetic diversity for different taxonomic groups. The Heteroptera suborder stands out for presenting wide range and are extremely important for public health (vectors of Chagas disease) and agriculture (pest various vegetables: for example, soy, corn, sorghum, ru…
The suborder Heteroptera has seven infraorders with about 80 families, the majority of which occur on all continents (except Antarctica) and some islands. In addition to terrestrial Heteroptera, there are aquatic and semiaquatic Heteroptera that are widely distributed around the world. They fascinate us with their ability to live in an extraordinarily wide variety of ecosystems-- they are…
Brazil stands as the largest worldwide producer of grains, however, it is estimated that between 20 and 30% loss in production in Brazil can be attributed to pests. Among the pests that attack crops, we highlight the Heteroptera, because some species show polyphagia and adaptation to different food sources may cause injuries in different parts of the plant and to transmit other pathogens …

Heteroptera Pentatomidae family are phytophagous, causing large losses to agriculture, can directly affect humans. Besides this characteristic, the cytogenetic study of this family, is extremely scarce. They have, mostly, 2n = 14 chromosomes (2n = 12A + XY), present testes formed by lobes, one of which is sometimes called harlequin by producing different types of spermatozoa. It was repor…
