Taxonomic Study On The Subfamily Ectrichodiinae (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) From China And Regions Around China

The present dissertation deals with the taxonomy of Ectrichodiinae from China and regions around China.The research history of Ectrichodiinae is briefly introduced. The information on the biological aspects such as habitate, behaviours, feeding, prey, mating and oviposition of Ectrichodiinae is brefly provided. A detailed introduction of general methods of Ectrichodiinae taxonomic study is provided. The general morphological characters of Ectrichodiinae are discussed and illustrated.In the taxonomic part,48 genera and 273 spicies are discribed, there are 21 genera and 77 species in China.
