Our results showed that, aside from the aesthetascs, only three other main morphotypes of setae with chemoreceptive features were present in the antennules, thus accounting for relatively simple sensillar equipment.

Essentially, in the three cladograms there is a visible group of families (Ochteridae, Gelastocoridae, Aphelocheiridae, Potamocoridae, Naucoridae, Notonectidae, Helotrephidae, and Pleidae) supported by one synapomorphy (the pit chemoreceptive sensillum is present in the mentioned taxa) which correspond to the group Tripartita previously indicated by Manher [10].
