The newly described species is illustrated and compared to Henicocephaloides fulvescens Villiers, 1962, and a revised generic diagnosis is also provided.
A new species of the Madagascan genus Physoderoides (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Physoderinae)
The dorsal habitus, morphological characters of legs as well as the male genitalia are illustrated and a key for the identification of species of Physoderoides Miller, 1955 is provided.

The results of phylogenetic analyses suggest that the fossula spongiosa and its development could be one of the most important morphological characters in the evolution of the genus, most likely associated with the ecological niche inhabited by Sirthenea representatives.
Morphology, arrangement and classification of sensilla on the apical segment of labium in Peiratinae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae)
Sensation structures on the apical segment of the labium in representatives of the subfamily Peiratinae (Heteroptera: Reduviidae), using the scanning electron microscope, are described, finding four new types of sensilla.

A new genus and two new species from Madagascar are described from specimens selected from Collection of the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, France and Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum, Innsbruck, Austria.
Current and potential geographical distribution of Platymeris biguttatus (Linnaeus, 1767) with description of nymphs
- D. Chłond, Agnieszka Bugaj‐Nawrocka, Łukasz Junkiert
- Environmental ScienceZoological Studies
- 9 January 2015
The analysis of climate preferences shows that most of the potentially suitable niches for this species were located in the area of tropical savanna climate, with a small participation of tree vegetation.
Model of potential distribution of Platymeris rhadamanthus Gerstaecker, 1873 with redescription of species
- D. Chłond, Agnieszka Bugaj‐Nawrocka
- Environmental ScienceZoological Studies
- 4 February 2014
This study provided new and valuable information of the potentially suitable habitat, the possible range of distribution of the species and its climatic preferences, based on 262 specimens of museum collections of P. rhadamanthus and ecological niche modelling methods.
Prediction of hybridisation zones of selected species of the genus Platymeris (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) supported by laboratory crossbreeding
- Agnieszka Bugaj‐Nawrocka, Natalia Sawka‐Gądek, D. Chłond
- Environmental Science, Biology
- 1 May 2020
The occurrence of both species was modelled to determine the zone of overlap and estimate the potential hybridisation zone by using the ecological niche modelling technique and Maxent software and various model settings and program capabilities, and two large areas were identified as potential Hybridisation zones.
