The morphological ontogeny of Minunthozetes semirufus (C.L. Koch, 1841) is redescribed and illustrated. The juveniles of this species have a humeral organ and a gastronotal shield, which bears four pairs of setae (dm, dp, lp, h1) in the larva, and 10 pairs (d-, l-, h-series, p1) in the nymphs. In the larva, the anterior part of gastronotal shield (pygidium) reaches the insertions of setal pair dm. In the juveniles, the prodorsal and gastronotal setae are short, and in the nymphs setae of c… CONTINUE READING
