Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
Adhesive or climbing organs in the form of empodia or pulvilli between the tarsal claws are common structures in Hymenoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera and other orders (Weber 1933). A more unusual type consisting of a small oval sac on the distal end of the tibia of the prothoracic and metathoracic legs of the reduviid Rhodnius prolixus Stål. has been described by Gillett and Wigglesworth (1932).
