The degree of coalescence of the ventral nerve cord in heteropterans strongly suggests a correlation with their infraorder. Gerromorphans have the greatest coalescence, and pentatomomorphans and the one leptopodomorphan studied have the least; several degrees of coalescence occur in Nepomorpha. It is suggested that a high degree of coalescence allows the nymph to be active immediately upon hatching from the egg.
