Abstract
This study analyzed the morphological characteristics of C. brunnea adults that allow for sexual differentiation. Sensilla trichodea, spatulate setae and lanceolate setae were found on the antennae, tarsi and tibiae apex, respectively, with no difference between sexes. Females of C. brunnea have a longer and wider body, as well as a longer fifth urosternite compared to males. The shape of the fifth urosternite allows for sex differentiation in C. brunnea adults.
期刊介绍:
Neotropical Entomology is a bimonthly journal, edited by the Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil (Entomological Society of Brazil) that publishes original articles produced by Brazilian and international experts in several subspecialties of entomology. These include bionomics, systematics, morphology, physiology, behavior, ecology, biological control, crop protection and acarology.
