Comparative Study of Spermatogenesis and Nucleolar Behavior in Testicular Lobes of Euschistus heros (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

All species of the family Pentatomidae in the literature where authors noted the number of testicular lobes and if they exhibited atypical meiosis and polymegaly. “No”: characteristic not found; “$—$”: information not found, “?”: author not sure about the presence of the characteristics.
