The Postembryonic Development of the Ocellar System of Triatoma infestans Klug (Heteroptera: Reduviidae)

Simple eyes or ocelli coexist with compound eyes in many adult insects. The change in the morphology of the ocelli along the five larval instars of Triatoma infestans was studied by light and scanning electron microscopy. Our analysis showed that the development of the ocelli of these bugs occurs gr...
