Abstract: The number of sensilla campaniformia and sensilla coeloconica + sensilla ampullacea of flagellomeres 2 to 11 of the antennae of three types of males (Italian, African and Africanized) was determined by scanning electron microscopy. Comparison of the three male types showed that Italian males did not differ from African males in number of sensilla coeloconica + sensilla ampullacea and that both differed from Africanized males in terms of flagellomere 11. With respect to flagellomeres 3 and 10, Italian males wer… Show more

“…The SP was the second most abundant sensilla, being almost twice as abundant in males as compared to females, similar to that reported for other eusocial bees (Stort & Moraes‐Alves, ; Ravaiano et al , ) and bees of the tribe Emphorini (Galvani et al , ). These sensilla are described as being olfactory in some Hymenoptera (Ochieng et al , ; Al Ghamdi, ; Spaethe et al , ).…”

“…Within the same species, differences in terms of types and distribution of sensilla also may be related to caste and sex or different tasks individuals perform in the colony (Sheridan, Iversen & Itagaki, ; Mysore, Shyamala & Rodrigues, ; Ravaiano et al , ; Wittwer & Elgar, ). For instance, males of A. mellifera have a higher number of placodea sensilla than workers, allowing them to locate the queen (Esslen & Kaissling, ; Stort & Moraes‐Alves, ). More recently, studies found differences in the type and number of sensilla among castes and sexes of several species of stingless bees, including the genus Melipona (Nascimento et al , ; Ravaiano et al , ; Campos, ; Carvalho et al , ) .…”

“…The morphology and abundance of antennal sensilla may vary depending on the insect family (Hashimoto, 1991), subspecies (Stort and Moraes-Alves, 1999), caste (Nakanishi et al, 2009), and developmental stage (Silva et al, 2010). The types and size of sensilla may also vary depend upon the geographical distribution of insects.…”

“…Although several studies about the different types of antennal sensilla in bees (Dietz and Humphreys, 1971;Moraes and Cruz-Landim, 1972;Stort and Moraes-Alves, 1999;Al-Ghamdi, 2006), histological analysis of the development of these sensilla in stingless bees was performed only in Melipona quadrifasciata anthidioides (Azevedo et al, 2008). Therefore, the analysis of the development of the antennal sensilla in other species of bees is important to confirm previous data and find new information that contributes to the understanding of these sensory organs.…”
