O órgão odorífero masculino de uma espécie do gênero Episimus (Lepidoptera, Olethreutidae)

Abstract: Nesta comunicação descreve-se o aparelho odorífero masculino de uma espécie do grupo transferranus WLK., pergentcente ao gênero Episimus. Cosntra êle de um conjunto de células glandulares, localizadas na tégula, e de uma área glandular situada no interior de uma dobre na tégula, e de uma área glandular situada no interior de uma dobra membranosa, fortemente enrolada e disposta por baixo da articulação da asa posterior. As secreções dos dois tipos de células, que compõem as referidas formações, penetram num pin… Show more

“…obs.). Although the exact function of SSCs in tortricids is poorly known due to limited histological study of only a few species of Archips (Grant 1978) and one of Episimus (Barth 1957), we can extrapolate their function from better studied and structurally similar SSCs in other moths where these structures deliver an indirect or direct mating stimulus through pheromone dissemination (Hallberg & Poppy 2003). For example, in Epiphyas postvittana (Walker, 1863), the male directs the costal fold towards the female's antennae as he rapidly fans his wings (Bartell 1977).…”
