Comparative study of sensilla and other tegumentary structures of Myrmeleontidae larvae (Insecta, Neuroptera)

Abstract: Antlion larvae have a complex tegumentary sensorial equipment. The sensilla and other kinds of larval tegumentary structures have been studied in 29 species of 18 genera within family Myrmeleontidae, all of them with certain degree of psammophilous lifestyle. The adaptations for such lifestyle are probably related to the evolutionary success of this lineage within Neuroptera. We identified eight types of sensory structures, six types of sensilla (excluding typical long bristles) and two other specialized tegum… Show more

“…All species studied are recognizable using external morphological characters such as size, coloration, and distribution and abundance of bristles of the mandible external to maxilla and digging setae (Badano and Pantaleoni, 2014a;Badano et al, 2016). However, all Iberian Myrmeleon species of this study present the same types and shape of bristles, plumose hairs, digging setae and the rest of sensilla, as we supposed with some previous studies (Lipovšek Delakorda et al, 2009;Pantaleoni et al, 2010;Devetak et al, 2010a;Ngamo and Maoge, 2014;Acevedo Ramos et al, 2020). All types of sensilla found on previously studied antlion larvae were observed in Iberian Myrmeleon larvae except digitiform sensilla found in M. formicarius (Lipovšek Delakorda et al, 2009) and Myrmecaelurus trigrammus (Devetak et al, 2013), both species with pit-building behavior.…”
