“…The aporous ST are present in low numbers in the terminal flagellomer of S. dorsalis , and could be the same type as the sensilla in Kl. intermedius due to the presence of a TB at the base as found via TEM; the TB appears to be mechanoreceptive (De Facci, Wallén, Hallberg & Anderbrant, ).…”

“…Sensilla were classified and described in according to the terminology of Schneider () and Zacharuk (). And we also referred to the classifications reported in previous papers on antennal sensilla of Thysanoptera (Bode, ; De Facci, Wallén, Hallberg & Anderbrant, ; Ding et al, ; Heming, ; Li and Feng, ; Lu et al, ; Slifer & Sekhon, ). The functions of sensilla were discussed in reference to their ultrastructure, distribution and functional morphology of investigations on arthropods as previously reported (Altner & Prillinger, ; Hallberg & Hansson, .…”

“…Studies on the antennal sensilla of four Thysanopteran species presented detailed descriptions of external morphology without the necessary ultrastructural evidence required for the prediction of sensory function (Ding, Zhu, Wang & Zhang, ; Li & Feng, ; Lu et al, ). The flagellar sensilla dispersers and soldiers of Kladothrips intermedius were compartively examined via SEM and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), revealed the existence of mechano‐sensory trichoid and a second type of mechanosensory sensilla, thermo‐hygroreceptive sensilla, olfactory single‐walled basiconic and double‐walled coeloconic sensilla as well as contact chemoreceptive chaetic sensilla and reveal that soldiers have fewer ORNs (De Facci, Wallén, Hallberg & Anderbrant, ).…”

The chilli thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood, is a serious pest of numerous important vegetable and ornamental crops. Various signals, especially phytochemical cues, determine the behavior of the phytophagous thrips at host selection. The sensory abilities of S. dorsalis are poorly understood although the antennae of adult are known to possess important sensory structures in orther insects. In this study, the morphology, distribution, and ultrastructure of the antennal sensilla of the S. dorsalis were examined by using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Microscopy observations revealed that adult male and female S. dorsalis possess filiform antennae. Each antenna comprises a scape, a pedicel, and a flagellum composed of six segments without clear sexual dimorphism in the number and distribution of antennal sensilla. The scape and pedicel exhibit Böhm's bristles, sensilla chaetica, and sensilla campaniform. The external structures of these organs reveal their mechanosensory function. In the flagellum, the most represented sensilla are the multiporous sensilla basiconica, which can be divided into three types of single-walled olfactory sensilla; three types of sensilla chaetica with mechanosensory and gustatory functions; sensilla coeloconica, which possess hollow cuticular spoke channels and represent double-walled olfactory sensilla; sensilla capitula and sensilla cavity with thermo-hygrosensory functions; and aporous sensilla trichodea with smooth cuticula and mechanosensory function. The putative function of described sensilla is discussed in ralation to host plant selection behavior of S. dorsalis.

Difficulties are discussed of specimen preparation, of character state variation, and of species recognition in the genus Leptothrips, also the extent to which some of the species are phytophagous rather than predatory. An identification key is provided to 15 Leptothrips species from North America. Nine species described by Johansen (1987) are newly placed into synonymy, a further unrecognisable species is based on a single deformed specimen, and L. texcosensis Johansen-Naime et al. (2017) is transferred to the genus Haplothrips.

“…The latter term was mentioned originally by Hind (1902), but antennae bear more than one kind of sensory structures. Slifer & Sekhon (1974) recognised the major sense cones as thin-walled chemoreceptors, that is sensilla basiconica, in contrast to thick-walled sensilla chaetica and other sensoria that occur on thrips antennae (De Facci et al 2011). The sensilla basiconica are presumably significant in behaviour, but they exhibit a diversity of shapes, sizes and distributions among Thysanoptera species.…”

Variation is discussed concerning the number of antennal segments in adults, and the number of their sense cones, among 182 of the 289 genera of Thripidae. Brief comments are also made concerning antennal structure and sensoria among the other seven terebrantian families. The plesiotypic condition for Thysanoptera is 9-segmented antennae, but fusion between various segments leads to a reduction in number to as few as five segments, and such fusion occurs in unrelated species. In Thripidae, antennal segment III never bears more than one sense cone, but the distribution of sense cones on segments IV–VIII varies and is tabulated. On antennal segment IV, species in nearly all Panchaetothripinae genera and more than half of Thripinae genera have two sense cones, but genera of Dendrothripinae and Sericothripinae bear only one on this segment. The differing patterns of segmental fusion that occur in Thripidae are discussed in association with the number of sense cones on VI–VIII; species with 7, 8 or 9 segmented antennae almost always lack a sense cone on the terminal segment. It is concluded that the number of antennal segments is subject to irregular homoplasy, and is thus sometimes an unreliable indicator of relationships.
