Biology of triatominae (Reduviidade, Hemiptera) from north of Formosa county (Goiás - Brazil). III: length of life cycle of Psammolestes tertius Lent and Jurberg 1965

In the present work the life cycle of Psammolestes tertius was studied. The mean length, in days, fromeach stage was: 26.3 (± 1.7) (1st), 28.6 (± 1.8) (2nd), 28.4 (± 1.8) (3rd), 32.2 (± 1.9) (4th) and 33.5 (± 5.8) (5th). The mean egg incubation period was 15.7 days (± 1.7). Overall mortality was 48....

Description
Summary:In the present work the life cycle of Psammolestes tertius was studied. The mean length, in days, fromeach stage was: 26.3 (± 1.7) (1st), 28.6 (± 1.8) (2nd), 28.4 (± 1.8) (3rd), 32.2 (± 1.9) (4th) and 33.5 (± 5.8) (5th). The mean egg incubation period was 15.7 days (± 1.7). Overall mortality was 48.9% and egg viability was 65.7%. No presente trabalho foi estudado o ciclo biológico de Psammolestes tertius. A duração do ciclo de ovo a adulto foi em torno de 164.7 dias. A média de duração em dias para cada estágio foi: 26,3 (± 1,7) para o primeiro, 28,6 (± 1,8) para o segundo, 28,4 (t 1,8) para o terceiro, 32,3 (± 1,9) para o quarto e 33J5 (± 5,8) para o quinto. A média do período de incubação dos ovos foi 15,7 (± 1,7). A mortalidade geral foi de 48,9% e a viabilidade dos ovos foi de 65,7%.
