Hemiptera Heteroptera Reduviidae Rhiginia Cinctiventris Millipede Ectrichodiinae (hemiptera: reduviidae), the millipede assassin bugs, are a speciose group (>660 species) of assassin bugs that appear to be specialist predators on diplopoda, or millipedes. Assassin bugs (hemiptera: reduviidae latreille) comprise not only one of the largest radiations of predatory animals (22 subfamilies; >6,800 spp.) but also include the medically important kissing bugs (triatominae jeannel).
Hemiptera Heteroptera Reduviidae Rhiginia Cinctiventris Millipede R. cinctiventris. binomial name. rhiginia cinctiventris. ( stål, 1872) rhiginia cinctiventris is a species of millipede assassin in the family reduviidae. it is found in central america and north america. [1] [2] [3]. Pena blanca lake santa cruz county, arizona coordinates: 31.393843, 111.089526 elevation: 3,858 ft july 30, 2020 size: 17 mm attracted to mercury vapor and ultraviolet lights. A literature review on ectrichodiine prey selection and feeding behaviors, with supplemental original observations on rhiginia cinctiventris in costa rica, indicates that this species preys on spirobolid and polydesmid millipedes and are in agreement with behaviors described for other ectrichodiinae. ectrichodiinae (hemiptera: reduviidae), the millipede assassin bugs, are a speciose group. Ectrichodiinae (hemiptera: reduviidae), the millipede assassin bugs, are a speciose group (>660 species) of assassin bugs that appear to be specialist predators on diplopoda, or millipedes. apparently capable of coping with the noxious defensive compounds produced by many millipedes, ectrichodiinae are engaged in a predator prey relationship with millipedes realized only by few other arthropods.

The reduviidae are a large, cosmopolitan, and morphologically diverse family of predatory true bugs. they include assassin bugs (genera include melanolestes, psellipus, rasahus, reduvius, rhiginia, sinea, and zelus), wheel bugs (arilus cristatus), kissing bugs (species of triatoma, rhodnius and panstrongylus), ambush bugs (genera apiomerus and phymata), and thread legged bugs (the subfamily. Assassin bugs (hemiptera: reduviidae latreille), together with their closest relatives, the pachynomidae stål, are one of the largest clades (reduvioidea reuter: >6,800 spp.) of predatory insects and exhibit a striking array of unique morphological and behavioural adaptations (maldonado, 1990; putshkov & putshkov (1986–1989); schuh & weirauch, 2020; weirauch et al., 2014) (figure 1.
