A brief look to the morphology of the Malpighian tubules in Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera, Pentatomidae).

Halyomorpha halys Stål (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is a widespread and very harmful species to many different plant species and can cause lead to great economic damage. The excretory system of H. halys is composed of four Malpighian tubules. Each Malpighian tubule is divided to region according to the external structures: proximal and distal regions.
