The antennae of Lepidoptera Neopseustidae were examined with the scanning electron microscope. The studied species, Nematocentropus cfr. omeiensis, Neopseustis meyricki, Synempora andesae, Apoplania valdiviana and Apoplania penai possess nine types of antennal flagellum sensilla: multiporous large sensilla basiconica, multiporous thin sensilla basiconica, multiporous small sensilla basiconica, multiporous sensilla trichodea, multiporous sensilla coeloconica; uniporous sensilla chaetica; aporous sensilla chaetica, aporous stylus-shaped sensilla chaetica, aporous sensilla styloconica.The multiporous sensillum type here termed “multiporous large sensillum basiconicum” is unknown from other Lepidoptera and probably constitutes an autapomorphy of the family Neopseustidae. This sensillum type is remarkable by having a single base in female Apoplania and Synempora while in male Apoplania it has a bifid or trifid base, and in male Synempora it is composed of two or three incompletely separated hairs. This may be the first recorded example of a sexually dimorphic lepidopteran sensillum type. The stylus-shaped sensillum chaeticum is a primitive type which occurs only in some lower Lepidoptera.  相似文献

Sensilla on male and female antennae, mouthparts, tarsi and on the ovipositor of the European sunflower moth, Homoeosoma nebulella (Lepidoptera : Pyralidae) have been investigated by means of scanning electron microscope. The antennal flagellum bears multiporous sensilla (trichodea, basiconica, auricillica, coeloconica) and uniporous sensilla (chaetica, styloconica). A sexual dimorphism is found in the numbers of sensilla trichodea (8300 in males and 6000 in females) and sensilla basiconica (1150 in females and 650 in males). The proboscis has uniporous s. styloconica, multiporous s. basiconica (described for the first time in Lepidoptera), aporous s. chaetica, and some rare uniporous s. basiconica in the food channel. The labial palp-pit organ houses multiporous s. coeloconica, while the maxillary palps have aporous sensilla. Tarsi of both sexes possess one type of aporous s. chaetica and 2 types of uniporous s. chaetica. There is no significant difference in the distribution of tarsal sensilla between males and females. The surface of each lobe of the ovipositor is covered by 3 types of aporous s. trichodea of different lengths and about 60 multiporous s. basiconica, sensilla unusual on the ovipositor of Lepidoptera. The role of sensilla in the oviposition site selection is discussed.  相似文献

高艳  罗礼智 《昆虫学报》2005,48(6):986-992
应用扫描电镜对采自我国广东吴川和广西南宁的红火蚁Solenopsis invicta Buren工蚁、有翅雌蚁和雄蚁触角的形态和感受器类型进行了研究。结果表明,工蚁、雌蚁和雄蚁的触角存在着较大的差异。工蚁和雌蚁的触角为膝状,末端2或3节膨大为棒状,雌蚁的触角11节,比工蚁(10节)的多1节。雄蚁的触角为线状,12节,末端没有棒状结构。工蚁和雌蚁的触角上共有7种感受器,分别为毛形、曲毛形、锥形、腔锥形、坛形、刺形感受器和Böhm氏鬃毛,前6种感受器大多集中在触角末端的棒节,棒节以外的各鞭节上主要是毛形感受器,Böhm氏鬃毛则分布于柄节和梗节的基部,鞭节上无此感受器。雄蚁触角上也有7种感受器,但其分布与工蚁的有较大差异,Böhm氏鬃毛的分布与工蚁和雌蚁的相同,锥形感受器分布在末端2节,坛形感受器分布在末端3节,其余的4种感受器较为均匀地分布在各鞭节,而不是聚集在端节。另外,新发现雄蚁中存在一种与已知的毛型感受器不同的超短毛状感受器,定名为超短毛感受器。最后,对红火蚁的触角及感受器在蚁群社会性行为中的作用进行了讨论。  相似文献

Highly developed chemoreception allows insects to detect foods, find mates, and escape natural enemies. We described the structures and distributions of antennal chemosensilla in Adelphocoris fasciaticollis Reuter by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Seven major types of antennal sensilla were identified in adults of both sexes. Types 1 and 2 are sensilla chaetica and have thick cuticular walls with conspicuous grooves at their surfaces. Types 3 and 4 are multiporous sensilla trichodea with 1–3 dendrites located at the sensillum lymph, indicating a putative olfactory function. Types 5 and 6 are typical sensilla basiconica but share different characteristics in both external morphology and internal ultrastructure, and may be involved in the perception of host-associated odorants. The last sensilla were Böhm bristles. In addition to the morphological characterization, electrophysiological responses of antennal chemosensilla to 51 semiochemicals were investigated based on electroantennogram (EAG) recordings. Results revealed that different chemical stimuli elicited significantly different dose-dependent EAG responses, in which potential sex pheromone components and green leaf volatiles showed relatively higher EAG responses, but neither monoterpenes nor sesquiterpenes can elicit favorable EAG values. The results provided direct morphological and electrophysiological evidence that the adult antennae of A. fasciaticollis could function in searching for mates and host plants.  相似文献

The ultrastructure and distribution of sensilla on the antennae of the cabbage stem flea beetle, Psylliodes chrysocephala, were investigated using scanning and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Eight different sensillar types were distinguished. These were; hair plate sensilla, sensilla chaetica, three types of sensilla trichodea, sensilla basiconica, grooved peg sensilla and styloconic sensilla. The sensilla chaetica are known to be gustatory receptors. Ultrastructure indicates that the hair plate sensilla and sensilla trichodea type one are probably mechanoreceptors, whilst the sensilla styloconica are probably thermo-hygro receptors. These thermo-hygroreceptors are unusual in that they are innervated by two sensory cells (one hygroreceptor and one thermoreceptor) rather than the more usual triad. The remaining four sensillar types all have a porous hair shaft, indicating an olfactory role. One of these (the grooved peg sensillum) may also have a thermoreceptive function. No sexual dimorphism was found in the structure, number or distribution of the antennal sensilla.  相似文献

The nipa palm hispid beetle, Octodonta nipae (Maulik) has been killing palm trees since its introduction into Hainan province, China, from Malaysia in 2001. It continues to spread within Hainan province, northeast to Fujian province, and northwest to Yunnan province within China. Knowledge on signals involved in mate location and recognition could help develop effective integrated pest management programs. In the present study, we first experimentally proved that antennae were essential in success of O. nipae mating. We then excised various segments/flagellomeres of adult male and female antennae and observed their mating behavior. Results revealed that the 5th to 9th flagellomeres, especially those of males, were important for the mating success. Finally, in an attempt to elucidate the types of antennal sensilla accountable for the mating success, morphology of O. nipae antennae was studied in detail with scanning electron microscopy. Six types of sensilla were distinguished: aporous sensilla trichodea (T1), multiporous sensilla trichodea (T2), aporous sensilla chaetica (Ch1), uniporous sensilla chaetica (Ch2), multiporous sensilla basiconica (B), and Böhm sensilla (Bm). Aporous sensilla trichodea is the most abundant; multiporous sensilla trichodea and sensilla basiconica are considered as olfactory receptors, and uniporous sensilla chaetica as gustatory receptor. Importance of flagellomeres 5–9 in mating success seemed to correspond to the abundance of sensilla on these segments.  相似文献

The nut weevil, Curculio nucum (Linnaeus, 1758), is the main pest in hazelnut orchards (Corylus avellana L.). Semiochemicals are interesting bio control tools that could be used to manipulate the pest behaviour and to control pest populations. The study of the sensorial equipment of the insect antennae provides information on the importance of olfaction in the adult life for host plants and mate findings as well as on the putative other senses. Before electrophysiological investigation, the knowledge of antennae equipment is also necessary. The aim of this study is to determine the types, number and location of sensilla on the antennae of male and female adult C. nucum in order to determine their implication in seeking a sexual partner and a host plant. The 12-segmented antenna comprises a scape, a 7-segmented funicle and a 4-segmented club. Out of the nine sensillum types listed, three are present on the scape and the funicle and seven types on the club which gathers 71–73% of the total of sensilla. Tactile aporous sensilla chaetica C1, gustatory uniporous sensilla chaetica C2, olfactory multiporous sensilla basiconica B1 and B2 are found on both the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the club in both sexes. Thermo-hygroreceptive dome-shaped sensilla D, olfactory multiporous sensilla basiconica B3 and olfactory multiporous fluted sensilla basiconica F are found exclusively on the ventral surface of the club, suggesting that these sensilla are utilized in host plant acceptance during antennal tapping. The sexual dimorphism concerns only the numbers of sensilla chaetica C1 and sensilla basiconica B2.  相似文献

Monema flavescens Walker (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae) is a serious polyphagous defoliator. Using scanning electron microscopy, the external morphology of the antennal sensilla of this pest was examined for a better understanding of the mechanisms of insect-insect and insect-plant chemical communications. The antennae of M. flavescens were filiform in shape, and 11 morphological types of sensilla were found in both sexes. Six types of likely chemosensory sensilla were identified: uniporous sensilla chaetica, multiporous sensilla trichodea, and four types of multiporous sensilla basiconica. The sensilla identified as likely mechanoreceptors included two subtypes of aporous sensilla chaetica, aporous sensilla coeloconica, aporous sensilla styloconica, and Böhm’s bristles, whereas the position of the antennae was monitored by Böhm’s bristles.  相似文献

The pollination of the genus Arum (Araceae) is mainly achieved by deception, the floral odour mimicking the pollinator ovipositing site. In order to discover the sensory organs involved in this attraction, we have studied the antennae of five species of psychodine moth-flies (former Psychoda sensu lato=Psychodini), pollinators of Arum spp. The antennae of the five Psychodini reveal seven types of sensilla: multiporous tribranched sensilla basiconica (sensilla ascoidea), multiporous sensilla basiconica, multiporous sensilla coeloconica, multiporous sensilla auricillica, uniporous sensilla basiconica, aporous sensilla chaetica, aporous Böhm’s sensilla. Each species possesses three, five or six of these sensillum types. All the multiporous sensilla are probably olfactory receptors while the uniporous sensilla basiconica must possess a contact chemoreceptive function. The multiporous tribranched sensilla basiconica (s. ascoidea), present in all the species, are the best candidates for the reception of the odours given off by the ovipositing sites and the inflorescences of Arum. The multiporous sensilla basiconica and the multiporous sensilla coeloconica may be involved respectively as CO2 receptors or thermoreceptors. Psychoda phalaenoides, which is the main pollinator of A. maculatum, is the species which possesses the largest number of antennal sensilla. The sexual dimorphism, studied only in Psycha grisescens, as concerns the number of sensilla and the absence of a sensillum type which differ according to sex, is difficult to interpret.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

This study describes the morphology and function of the antennal sensilla in two gall midge species, Contarinia nasturtii and Mayetiola destructor, where multi-component sex pheromones have been identified. Both species possess sensilla trichodea, s. coeloconica, s. chaetica and s. circumfila. Sensilla circumfila, which consist of several sensilla that bifurcate and fuse into one structure, are unique for the gall midges. In C. nasturtii s. circumfila are sexually dimorphic. In males, they form elongated loops suspended on cuticular spines, whereas in females they run like worm-like structures directly on the antennal surface. Single sensillum recordings demonstrated that olfactory sensory neurons housed in male s. circumfila in C. nasturtii responded to the female sex pheromone. In M. destructor, s. circumfila were attached to the antennal surface in both sexes, and displayed no response to sex pheromone components.A sexual dimorphism was also found in the number of s. trichodea per antennal segment in both C. nasturtii (male 1 vs. female 7) and M. destructor (male 13 vs. female 10). OSNs located in male M. destructor s. trichodea responded to the sex pheromone. This is the first gall midge single sensillum study, and the first demonstration of the functional significance of s. circumfila.  相似文献

Sensilla on the antennae of adult and last-instar nymphs of the tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Hemiptera: Miridae), were examined with light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Six different types were identified in adult females and males and 5 types in last-instar nymphs: types 1 and 4 are sensilla trichodea, 2 and 3 are sensilla chaetica, and 5 and 6 are sensilla basiconica. Type 1 are located at distal region of terminal segment and type 2 are located at distal regions of proximal 3 segments in both adults and nymphs. Type 3 is present on all segments, more numerous on scape and pedicel and less abundant on distal third and fourth segments in both adult and nymphal stages. Types 4 and 6 are absent on the scape and present on the distal 3 antennal segments in adults, but they are present only on the distal-most antennal segment in nymphs. Type 5 sensilla are present only on second antennal segments in adults and are absent in nymphs. Sexual dimorphism is observed in total numbers: there are significantly more type(s) 3, 4, 5 and 6 sensilla in adult males than adult females. Types 1, 4 and 5 are multiporous with thin cuticle, branched dendrites and pore tubules which suggests an olfactory function. These sensilla have 3, 3 and 2 neurons, respectively. The type 6 sensillum has an apical pore and pores in the cuticular wall, and is innervated by 5 nerve cells with unbranched dendrites. Sensillar types 2 and 3 have thick cuticle, a single apical pore and nerve cells with unbranched dendrites. Type 2 has 1 neuron and type 3 has 2 chambers and 2 nerve cells.  相似文献

The fine structure and distribution of various types of antennal sensilla in three nymphal stages and in adults of both solitary-reared (solitary) and crowd-reared (gregarious) phases of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, were investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Four types of sensilla were identified: sensilla basiconica, s. trichodea, s. coeloconica and s. chaetica. S. basiconica contain up to 50 sensory neurons, each of which displays massive dendritic branching. The sensillar wall is penetrated by a large number of pores. In contrast, s. trichodea contain one to three sensory neurons that branch to give five or six dendrites in the sensillar lumen; the sensillum wall is penetrated by relatively few pores. The s. coeloconica are situated in spherical cuticular pits on the antennal surface. The s. coeloconica are of two types: one type contains one to three sensory neurons with double sensillar walls penetrated by slit-like pores, whereas the second type contains four sensory neurons with non-porous double sensillar walls. The s. chaetica have a flexible socket and a thick non-porous sensillum wall and contain four sensory neurons that send unbranched dendrites to a terminal pore. A fifth sensory neuron of the s. chaetica terminates in a tubular body at the base of the hair. S. basiconica and coeloconica are normally distributed over the entire antennal flagellum, with a concentration in the middle segments; s. trichodea have three areas of concentration on the 5th, 10th and 14th flagellar segments. Sensilla chaetica are most abundant on the terminal segment. Locusts raised in solitary conditions have more olfactory sensilla (s. basiconica and s. coeloconica) than crowd-reared locusts. The difference in sensillar numbers is more evident in adults than in nymphs. These results suggest that differences in the odour-mediated behaviour of nymphs and adults, and between the phases of S. gregaria, may be attributable to differences at the sensory input level.  相似文献
