Development of antennal sensilla of Tetragonisca angustula Latreille, 1811 (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) during pupation

Abstract: The antennal sensilla are sensory organs formed by a group of neurons and accessory cells, which allow perception of environmental cues, which play a role as mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors. This study describes the post-embryonic development of the antennal sensilla of the stingless Tetragonisca angustula (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) workers. The development of the antennal sensilla begins in the transition stage of the pre-pupae to white-eyed pupae. The sensilla are completely developed at the black-eyed pu… Show more

“…Considering the sensilla in stingless bees, the most well‐known species are M. quadrifasciata (De Moraes & Landim, ; Ravaiano et al , ), M. scutellaris (Nascimento et al , ; Carvalho et al , ) , and Scaptotrigona postica (Stort & Barelli, ) . There are few studies on the sensilla of Tetragonisca ; however, among the species of this genus, Tetragonisca angustula is the most studied (Fialho et al , ; Dohanik et al , ). In the present study, the distribution and types of sensilla of the antennal flagellum were compared among different sexes and castes of Tetragonisca fiebrigi using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).…”
