An understanding of the physiological and structural development of an embryo requires a knowledge of the precise state that development has reached. Without this knowledge it is not possible to compare findings from experiments performed on different embryos or to relate them to structural changes during development. In previous work on Acridid embryos two methods have been used in estimating the stage of development. Some authors have defined embryonic stages by their age from the time of oviposition (Slifer, 1932; Roonwal, 1936, 1937; Hong, 1968), while others have described development in a series of arbitrarily chosen stages, which are based primarily on changes in the external morphology (Steele, 1941; Jhingran, 1947; Mathée, 1951; Shulov & Pener, 1959, 1963). The eggs of Schistocerca gregaria are laid in pods of 30–90. Pods were collected and kept under constant conditions in order to investigate the development of the embryonic muscle (Tyrer, 1968, 1969).

Among the most specialized integumentary outgrowths in amniotes are the adhesive, scale-like scansors and lamellae on the digits of anoles and geckos. Less well-known are adhesive tail pads exhibited by 21 gecko genera. While described over 120 years ago, no studies have quantified their possible adhesive function or described their embryonic development. Here, we characterize adult and embryonic morphology and adhesive performance of crested gecko ( Correlophus ciliatus ) tail pads. Additionally, we use embryonic data to test whether tail pads are serial homologues to toe pads. External morphology and histology of C . ciliatus tail pads are largely similar to tail pads of closely related geckos. Functionally, C . ciliatus tail pads exhibit impressive adhesive ability, hypothetically capable of holding up to five times their own mass. Tail pads develop at approximately the same time during embryogenesis as toe pads. Further, tail pads exhibit similar developmental patterns to toe pads, which are markedly different from non-adhesive gecko toes and tails. Our data provide support for the serial homology of adhesive tail pads with toe pads.

The work on this paper aimed to perform the description of the immatures and determine the number of larval instars in the post-embryonic development of Mischocyttarus nomurae Richards, a social wasp which the only works performed were the description of the specie and of the male.  Twenty colonies were collected in the city of Rio de Contas, in the region of the Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Brazil and there were dimensioned 145 eggs, 349 larvae, 12 pre-pupae and 59 pupae. The eggs presented an average length of 1.03 ± 0.12mm and diameter of 0.40 ± 0.03mm. The average rate of growth of the larvae that presented five instars was 1.49. The width of the cephalic capsule of the larvae was: 1st instar 0.32 ± 0.08, 2nd instar 0.54 ± 0.06, 3rd instar 0.77 ± 0.07, 4th  instar 1.05 ± 0.10 and 5th instar 1.55 ± 0.07. The average width of the larvae of 5th instar and pre-pupae were close, where larvae of the 1st instar differed from the egg, being smaller. The average measure of the pupae was 1.85 ± 0.08. The specie presents two abdominal lobes highly projected towards and the first thoracic spiracle is 3.1 times higher than the second one. This is the first work on the biology of the specie.
