LIFE-HISTORIES OF NORTH AMERICAN WATER-BUGS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
Of the water-bugs, perhaps Ranatra and Nepa are better known than the others in their anatomy and earlier stages. Dufour's classic on the anatomy of Nepa cinerea, L., and Ranatra linearis, L., has been followed by the work of other investigators in these two species, and the peculiar filamentous ova of the two genera have long been favourites with students. But neverthless, thus far no compelte life-history has been worked out for either of them.
