“…The olfactory pit, on the other hand, has a few olfactory sensilla of the doublewalled type, whereas the majority of the pit sensilla are poreless. Similar sensillar types have been described in other fly species (Bay and Pitts 1976, Honda et al 1983, Altner et al 1983. In Musca autumnalis (Bay and Pitts 1976) the absence of pores was not established unequivocally.…”

The funicular sensilla in Dacus oleae (Gmelin) (Diptera: Tephritidae) are found both on the surface and in the single olfactory pit.The surface sensilla are of three types: two are single-walled, the third is doublewalled. The fine structure of these three sensillar types indicates olfactory function capabilities. The single-walled sensilla are, as a rule, innervated by two sensory cells. The long single-walled sensilla have unbranchcd sensory processes, whereas in the short they are branched. The double-walled sensilla usually possess three sensory cells that send unbranched sensory processes towards the tip of the hair.The olfactory pit sensilla are of two types: one type is identical to the double-walled type found on the funicular surface. The second type is poreless and found only in the olfactory pit. The poreless sensilla are innervated by three sensory cells, two of which terminate inside the cuticular hair, while the third does not enter inside the hair but terminates freely below it. The functional capabilities of this sensillar type are unknown.

“…The function of ßuted sensilla in Dendroctonus species is unknown. Several studies on species of Coleoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Hemiptera suggest a hygroreceptor function (Waldow 1970, Bay and Pitts 1976, Jensen and Zacharuk 1991, Diehl et al 2007). However, based on their structure and similarity to other multiporous sensilla (Hallberg 1982;Zacharuk 1980Zacharuk , 1985, it has been suggested that ßuted sensilla may have a chemoreceptive function.…”

We compared the antennae of two sibling bark beetle species, Dendroctonus rhizophagus Thomas and Bright and Dendroctonus valens LeConte, to identify biologically and taxonomically relevant differences. Specifically, we characterized the diversity of sensilla types by using environmental scanning electron microscopy, quantified the abundance and distribution of the different types of sensilla on the antennal club, and characterized club shape through multivariate and geometric morphometric analyses. We identified four classes of sensilla in both species: chaetica, fluted, trichodea (three distinct types), and basiconica (long and short). ANOVA and MANOVA demonstrated that the number and distribution of sensilla with the potential for chemoreception (i.e., short and long basiconica) differed between species and sexes. Notably, the long sensilla basiconica in the third sensory band were clustered in D. rhizophagus but not in D.valens. Geometric morphometric analysis using 27 landmarks showed that antennal club shape differed significantly between the two species and was not correlated with antennal size. The shape differences were associated with the number and distribution of sensilla.

“…Much research has been done by various workers on the structure and distribution of antennal sensilla in hematophagous and non-hematophagous insects like mosquitoes, cockroaches and muscid flies (Ismail, 1962;Shri Prakash et al, 1992a). Ismail (1964) described morphology and distribution of antennal sensilla in culicine and anopheline female mosquitoes; Bay & Pitts (1976) reported antennal olfactory sensilla of the flesh fly Musca autumnalis (Degreer). White & Bay (1980) described antennal olfactory sensilla of the horn fly Haematobia irritans irritans (L.).…”

This paper reports the loci, structure and numerical distribution of various types of mechanotactile and olfactory sensilla in four species of female tabanids, i.e., Tabanus rubidus, Tabanus striatus, Haematopota dissimilis, and Tabanus subcinerences. It was observed that sensilla chaetica were confined to scape and pedicel, while sensilla basiconica were confined to the first segment of flagellum. Sensilla trichoidea and sensilla stellate were distributed over all the segments of flagellum in all four species of tabanids, although they were present in maximum number in the first segment. The significant difference in the total number of various types of sensilla in different species has also been observed.
