Abstract
We report on the results of a chromosomal study of the big-eyed true bug Geocorisdispar Waga, 1839 (Heteroptera: Geocoridae) aimed at obtaining data on its telomeres. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we have shown, that G.dispar has a non-canonical 10-bp telomeric motif TTAGGGGTGG. This is the first evidence of telomere structure in the family Geocoridae and the first finding of the telomeric sequence (TTAGGGGTGG) n in the large superfamily Lygaeoidea (infraorder Pentatomomorpha).
