%X we tested the attraction of panstrongylus megistus odor under laboratory conditons, between males and females of this species and by individuals of each sex on recently fed virgin couples. we employed a system of choice boxes both with or without aeration over the stimuli in the tested situations. we also observed a clear trend among the insects to remain in the central box where they had been placed in the beginning of the tests.
