SUMMARY
The normal number of larval instars in Copeognatha is six, but in some rare cases this number can decrease to five, four or even three, this being associated with neoteny and alary polymorphism in the corresponding species (New and Lienhard 2007: 20- 21, 113). The reduction of the number of the larval instars to four was noted in sporadic species of Heteroptera from the families Veliidae, Mesoveliidae, Nepidae . . .
