New Data on the Distribution of the Tropical Bed Bug Cimex hemipterus and Its Cytogenetic Features in Comparison with the Common Bed Bug C. lectularius (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Cimicidae) in Russia
摘要
Abstract
The alien tropical bed bug Cimex hemipterus (Fabricius, 1803) is indicated for the following cities of Russia for the first time: Yoshkar-Ola (Republic of Mari El), Kazan (Republic of Tatarstan), Lipetsk, and Rostov-on-Don. The presently known complete distribution of the species in Russia is described. Preliminary information on the relative frequency of occurrence of the tropical bed bug and the common bed bug, C. lectularius Linnaeus, 1758, is given. Cytogenetic features such as number of chromosomes, sex chromosome systems, and distribution of ribosomal gene clusters in the karyotype of both species are described on the basis of original and published data.
