“…Nevertheless, what differentiates the sarcophagids from other flies is the bottle-shaped sensilla located in the sensory pits. The bottle-shaped sensilla were shown in a sarcophagid species (S. carnaria) by Smith and Lefroy [36] for the first time and were characterized by the portion resembling the neck of the bottle produced to a great extent. Later, the sensory pits of S. argyrostoma [37], S. dux [30], and S. tibialis [39] were also found to have bottle-shaped sensilla.…”

“…Although the phylogenic monophyly of Sarcophagidae has been extensively corroborated [ 34 , 35 ], the lack of clear morphological diagnosis imposes difficulties in taxonomic studies. Furthermore, studies on the antennal ultrastructure of sarcophagid flies are limited in comparison to its diversity [ 30 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], and no comparative study covering all of the subfamilies of Sarcophagidae has been published.…”

“…Greenberg and Ash [ 42 ] examined the morphology of setiferous plaques in Boettcheria cimbicis (Townsend), Sarcophaga aldrichi Parker, and Sarcophaga bullata . Optical and transmission electron microscopy studies of the sensory organs on the antennal postpedicel were carried out in Sarcophaga carnaria (Linnaeus) [ 36 ] and in Sarcophaga argyrostoma (Robineau-Desvoidy) [ 37 ].…”

The antennae are the main olfactory organ of flies, playing key roles in their survival and the success of all life stages. Antennal ultrastructural morphology has been well described in the representative species of most calyptrate families, yet only a few studies have focused on Sarcophagidae species, those with ecological and medical relevance. Antennal morphology and the types, shapes, distribution, and density of the antennal sensilla of nine Sarcophagidae species are studied in detail with scanning electron microscopy, including Miltogramminae: Metopia campestris (Fallén) and Mesomelena mesomelaena (Loew), Paramacronychiinae: Agria mihalyii (Rohdendorf & Verves), Wohlfahrtia bella (Macquart), and W. magnifica (Schiner); Sarcophaginae: Sarcophaga (Parasarcophaga) albiceps Meigen, S. (Bercaea) africa (Wiedemann), S. (Boettcherisca) peregrina (Robineau-Desvoidy), and S. (Liosarcophaga) portschinskyi (Rohdendorf), covering all three subfamilies of this family. The morphology of the three segments of the antennae has been described. The scape has only one type of chaetic sensilla, while three subtypes of chaetic sensilla were detected on the pedicel. The postpedicel has four types of sensilla: trichoid sensilla, coeloconic sensilla, clavate sensilla, and three subtypes of basiconic sensilla. Bottle-shaped sensilla were observed in sensory pits on the postpedicel in all nine species. These sensilla have not been discovered in other calyptrate species, suggesting that they are a potential sarcophagid synapomorphy.

“…The present study is the first to describe the ultrastructural morphology of the antenna of the female of H. pandazisi. Morphological studies on the antennae of Tabanidae are limited and the antennae of only two species of Haematopota have been described: Haematopota pluvialis L. (Smith 1919;Elizarov and Chaika 1977) and Haematopota dissimilis Ricardo (Parashar et al 1994). Other tabanid genera for which the antennae have been described are Atylotus, Chrysops, Hybomitra, and Tabanus (Smith 1919;Lall 1970;Elizarov and Chaika 1977;Faucheux 1981;Parashar et al 1994;Ivanov 2007).…”

Ultrastructural characterization of sensilla and microtrichia on the antenna of female Haematopota pandazisi (Diptera: Tabanidae)

et al. 2018

The haematophagous females of the cleg fly Haematopota pandazisi (Kröber) (Diptera: Tabanidae) are a common pest in areas inhabited by wild and domestic ungulates in southern Europe, North Africa and Anatolia. A morphological investigation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was carried out for the first time on the antennae of females of H. pandazisi, with special attention to the type and distribution of sensilla and microtrichia. The typical brachyceran antenna is divided into three regions: the scape, the pedicel and the flagellum, which is the longest of the three and is composed of four flagellomeres. The scape and pedicel are characterized by only one type of microtrichium and chaetic sensillum, whereas five types of microtrichia and sensilla were identified on the flagellum and classified according to shape and distribution. The sensilla are of the chaetic, clavate, basiconic, trichoid and coeloconic types; the latter with either a basiconic or grooved peg inside. The results obtained in this study were compared to those found in other species in the family Tabanidae and other Diptera, with special attention to haematophagous species.
