“…A study on Diabrotica virgifera Leconte, 1858, for instance, showed that male antennae have a much greater number of sensilla than females, and numerous glandular points linked to the production of chemical compounds allegedly to be attractive to females (Newman Jr et al 1993). Unfortunately, there is little knowledge on the biology or even on the anatomy of Diabroticites to support this view as a more generalized tendency.…”

“…This dimorphism was expressed by opposite trends in LB distribution between sexes of both species (Table 2). In other coleopteran species, it has been assumed that sexual dimorphism, with regard to the number and distribution of sensilla basiconica, is related to sex pheromone detection (Newman et al 1993;Jourdan et al 1995;Merivee et al 1998Merivee et al , 1999. The higher number of sensilla basiconica in males of D. valens could be associated with usage of sex pheromones, because D. valens females produced frontalin, which functions as a sex pheromone (Liu et al 2013).…”
