In Phymata, the scutellum is triangular and shorter than the pronotum. In Macrocephalus, the scutellum is narrow and rounded, extending to the tip of the abdomen. [2] Phymatinae normally have a large fore femur and clubbed antennae. The forewing membranes sometimes lack distinct cells. [3] The antennae have four segments. There are two ocelli.

Phymata is a genus of assassin bugs belonging to the family Reduviidae, subfamily Phymatinae, [1] commonly called jagged ambush bugs. They can be a variety of colors, with their coloring helping them camouflage with the plants they live on.
Adults of Phymata crassipes can reach a length of about 7–9 mm. The body appear ornamented with some extrusions. Their triangular scutellum is shorter than a pronotum without prominent tubercles. They possess functional wings. They have clubbed antennae and enlarged fore femora and abdomen.
Some moths have knobbed antennae akin to those of butterflies, such as the family Castniidae. [18] Antennae are the primary organs of olfaction (smell) in Lepidoptera. The antenna surface is covered with large numbers of olfactory scales, hairs, or pits; as many as 1,370,000 are found on the antennae of a monarch. Antennae are extremely ...
Phymata pennsylvanica, known generally as the Pennsylvania ambush bug or Pennsylvania jagged ambush bug, is a species of ambush bug in the family Reduviidae. It is found in North America. [1] [2] [3] It is known to prey on a common hoverfly, Syritta pipiens. [4]
Large antennae on a longhorn beetle. Antennae (sg.: antenna) (sometimes referred to as "feelers") are paired appendages used for sensing in arthropods. Antennae are connected to the first one or two segments of the arthropod head. They vary widely in form but are always made of one or more jointed segments.
Myxophaga have several diagnostic features: the antennae are more or less distinctly clubbed with usually fewer than nine segments, mesocoxal cavities are open laterally and bordered by a mesepimeron and metanepisternum, the hind wings are rolled apically in the resting positions.
