What's the difference between hemiptera and hemipterous?
Hemiptera
Definition:
(n. pl.) An order of hexapod insects having a jointed proboscis, including four sharp stylets (mandibles and maxillae), for piercing. In many of the species (Heteroptera) the front wings are partially coriaceous, and different from the others.
Example Sentences:

(2) The evolution of the aorta as an exclusive neurohaemal organ in Hemiptera is discussed.
(3) The influence of temperature on the biology of Rhodnius nasutus Stal, 1859 (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) was studied in order to obtain a larger number of triatominae reared in laboratory to use in xenodiagnosis and to be able to get information for their proper control.
(4) The organization of the indirect flight muscle of an aphid (Hemiptera-Homoptera) is described.
(5) The fate of ingested hepatitis B antigen (HBsAg) in two mosquito species and two Hemiptera species was compared with the rate of blood meal digestion by these insects.

(7) This, combined with their behaviour at mitosis, may suggest that, likely as in other Hemiptera, the chromosomes are holokinetic.
(8) Following reports of an unusually high incidence of acute Chagas's disease and the appearance of large numbers of Triatoma infestans in the southwestern region of the State of Bahia, triatomine bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) and domestic animals in one of the affected communities were surveyed and examined for infection with Trypanosoma cruzi.
(9) The digestive tube of the hemiptera will, thus, work as a suitable structure for examination.
(10) The most abundant invertebrate predators were Odonata, followed by Hemiptera and Ephemeroptera and the least common were Coleoptera.
(11) This study reports the embryogenesis of T. infestans (Hemiptera, Reduviidae).
(12) We also find retinal (R1) in Hemiptera (suborder Homoptera), Mecoptera, and Trichoptera, groups previously thought to have only R3.
(13) No evidence was found of silvatic species of triatomine bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) colonizing houses, but occasional infected specimens of Panstrongylus geniculatus and Rhodnius pictipes were found in suburban houses, near the forest.
(14) These hemiptera feed by biting and usually defecate in the area near the puncture wound.

(16) Interspecific mating between male Cimex hemipterus and female C. lectularius bedbugs (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) occurs freely in the laboratory, even when many female C. hemipterus are available.
(17) In the insect Oncopeltus (Hemiptera, Lygaeidae), after blastoderm formation, labeled cells in one segment never give rise to cells in another; clones always respect a sharply defined line, the segmental boundary.
(18) Analysis of field populations of Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), after a 3-year study, shows that population growth rate is affected by both density-dependent and density-independent mortality.
(19) Enzyme polymorphism in triatomine bugs of the genus Rhodnius (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), vectors of Chagas disease, is analysed using both starch and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
(20) Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiological agent, and it is naturally transmitted to humans by hematophagous hemiptera of Triatominae sub-family.
Hemipterous
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the Hemiptera.
Example Sentences:
(1) Diplonychus indicus is an aquatic hemipterous bug known to be a voracious predator of dipteran larvae, among others, and to show a selective predation for mosquito larvae when exposed to a mixed prey diet.
