The formation of the antenna sensory apparatus in some bug (Heteroptera) species in the course of their postembryonic development

In the antenna sensory apparatus of bugs Coreus marginatus, Cimex lectularius, and Rhodnius prolixus sensilla of the four main types are identified: chaetica, trichodea, basiconica, and coeloconica. Chaetoid sensilla are differentiated into two subtypes: sensilla with cogged cuticles and those with smooth ones; trichoid sensilla were divided into long pointed and short ones with blunt tips. In larvae and adults of R. prolixus trichobothria (long filiform hairs) were found on the medial side of pedicellum. The postembryonic changes in the quantitative and qualitative composition of the antenna sensory apparatus were assessed using biometric analysis. The greatest increase of sensory organs was observed upon the nymphal ecdysis from the 5th instar to adult.     

Morphological and functional heterogeneity in olfactory perception between antennae and maxillary palps in the pumpkin fruit fly,Bactrocera depressa

The morphology and ultrastructure of the olfactory sensilla on the antennae and maxillary palps were investigated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and their responses to five volatile compounds were measured using electroantenogram (EAG) and electropalpogram (EPG) techniques in the pumpkin fruit fly, Bactrocera depressa (Shiraki; Diptera: Tephritidae). Male and female B. depressa displayed distinct morphological types of olfactory sensilla in the antennae and maxillary palps, with predominant populations of trichoid, basiconic, and coeloconic sensilla. Basiconic sensilla, the most abundant type of olfactory sensilla in the antennae, could be further classified into two different types. In contrast, the maxillary palps exhibited predominant populations of a single type of curved basiconic sensilla. High‐resolution SEM observation revealed the presence of multiple nanoscale wall‐pores on the cuticular surface of trichoid and basiconic sensilla, indicating that their primary function is olfactory. In contrast, coeloconic sensilla displayed several longitudinal grooves around the sensillum peg. The TEM observation of individual antennal olfactory sensilla indicates that the basiconic sensilla are thin‐walled, while the trichoid sensilla are thick‐walled. The profile of EAG responses of male B. depressa was different from their EPG response profile, indicating that the olfactory function of maxillary palps is different from that of antennae in this species. The structural and functional variation in the olfactory sensilla between antennae and maxillary palps suggests that each plays an independent role in the perception of olfactory signals in B. depressa.     

Morphology and distribution of antennal sensilla in the pine wood nematode insect vectors Monochamus alternatus Hope and Monochamus saltuarius Gebler (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

As insect vectors of pine wood nematodes, Monochamus alternatus Hope and Monochamus saltuarius Gebler have different levels of attractiveness to semiochemicals. Although active use of chemical communication in both species is well known, there was no report on the differences in morphology and distribution of antennal sensilla between the two Monochamus species. The present study was carried out to explore the morphology, distribution, and ultrastructure of antennal sensilla of the two species using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The overall shapes of the antennae were not different between M. alternatus and M. saltuarius. However, both M. alternatus and M. saltuarius exhibited sexual dimorphism overall. The antennae of each species were composed of the scape, pedicel, and nine flagellomeres, with four morphological types of sensilla: trichodea, basiconica, chaetica, and coeloconica. The four types occurred in varying numbers and distributions. The sensilla chaetica type was the most abundant in both species. Three types of sensilla (trichodea, basiconica, and chaetica) could be subdivided according to the two Monochamus species; sensilla trichodea could be divided into two subtypes, and sensilla basiconica and sensilla chaetica into three. All sensilla basiconica subtypes were multiporous, indicating that their primary function was olfactory. Sensilla trichodea subtype 2 was uniporous, indicating that the function of these sensilla might be gustatory. The morphological information obtained in our study provides a basis for future investigation of the sensory physiological function of each type of sensilla in the two species.

Sensilla on the mouthparts and antennae of the elephant louse,Haematomyzus elephantis piaget (Phthiraptera: Haematomyzidae)

The labial palpus of the elephant louse Haematomyzus elephantis has six sensilla that represent three different types: trichoid, basiconic, and styloconic. Two rows of basiconic sensilla are situated on the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the rostrum, and each row consists of three sensilla. Male and female antennae have 15–17 trichoid sensilla situated on the scape, pedicel, and three antennal annuli. Both sexes have two sensilla basiconica on the dorsal surface of the pedicel near the junction of the scape and pedicel. Two coeloconic (tuft) sensilla are situated on the antennae of both sexes, one sensillum on each of the last two annuli. There are three plate organs, two on the last annulus and one on the penultimate annulus of the male and female antennae. Sexual dimorphism is exhibited in the male and female antennae, in that the male has about twice as many sensilla basiconica on the apex of the last annulus as does the female. The total number of sensilla basiconica on the apex of the male antennae is at least two times the number that is known to be present in any other species of lice. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Characterization of olfactory sensilla of Stomoxys calcitrans and electrophysiological responses to odorant compounds associated with hosts and oviposition media

Stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans L. (Diptera: Muscidae), are economically important biting flies that have caused billions of dollars in losses in the livestock industry. Field monitoring studies have indicated that olfaction plays an important role in host location. To further our understanding of stable fly olfaction, we examined the antennal morphology of adults using scanning electron microscopy techniques. Four major types of sensillum were found and classified as: (a) basiconic sensilla; (b) trichoid sensilla with three subtypes; (c) clavate sensilla, and (d) coeloconic sensilla. No significant differences between male and female flies in abundances (total numbers) of these sensillum types were observed, except for medium-sized trichoid sensilla. The distinctive pore structures found on the surface of basiconic and clavate sensilla suggest their olfactory functions. No wall pores were found in trichoid and coeloconic sensilla, which suggests that these two types of sensillum may function as mechano-receptors. Details of the distributions of different sensillum types located on the funicle of the fly antenna were also recorded. Electroantennogram results indicated significant antennal responses to host-associated compounds. The importance of stable fly olfaction relative to host and host environment seeking is discussed. This research provides valuable new information that will enhance future developments in integrated stable fly management.     

Responses of a population of antennal olfactory receptor cells in the female moth Manduca sexta to plant-associated volatile organic compounds

Extracellular electrophysiological recordings were made from individual type-A trichoid sensilla on the antenna of the female sphinx moth Manduca sexta. A single annulus of the antenna bears about 1,100 of these sensilla, and each is innervated by two olfactory receptor cells. We tested the responses of these receptor cells to a panel of 102 volatile compounds, as well as three plant-derived odor mixtures, and could discern three different functional types of type-A trichoid sensilla. One subset of receptor cells exhibited an apparently narrow molecular receptive range, responding strongly to only one or two terpenoid odorants. The second subset was activated exclusively by aromatics and responded strongly to two to seven odorants. The third subset had a broad molecular receptive range and responded strongly to odorants belonging to several chemical classes. We also found receptor cells that did not respond to any of the odorants tested but were spontaneously active. Certain odorants elicited excitatory responses in some sensilla but inhibitory responses in others, and some receptor cells were strongly excited by certain odorants but inhibited by others. Impregnation of groups of receptor cells in type-A trichoid sensilla with rhodamine-dextran demonstrated that their axons project mainly to the large female glomeruli of the antennal lobe.
