Algunas notas sobre el integumento quitinoso e iridiscente en la clase Insecta (Arthropoda: Hexapoda)

Se aportan algunos aspectos del integumento quitinoso en los insectos, enfocados a la naturaleza iridiscente del mismo y a la relación con algunas especies tropicales. Se suministran diagramas e ilustraciones realizadas con estereomicroscopio y MEB de las partes quitinosas tratadas. Se incluyen fotos de especies iridiscentes de los órdenes Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Mantodea y Lepidoptera. Buena parte de estas especies presentan una coloración verdosa iridiscente que es la dominante y puede ser útil en estudios taxonómicos aplicados.
