“…The distribution and types of antennal sensilla of E. ferrugineus are similar to what has been described in other genera and species of Elateridae: A. obscurus (Merivee et al 1997), L. aeruginosus (Merivee et al 1998), M. villosus (Merivee et al 1999), M. cribricollis (Guandi et al 2012) and T. lewisi (Ren et al 2014).…”

“…Limited information on morphology and physiology is available for a restricted number of species. The identification and description of antennal sensilla through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been performed only for a few click beetle species: Agriotes obscurus (Merivee et al 1997), Limonius aeruginosus (Merivee et al 1998), Melanotus villosus (Merivee et al 1999) and Melanotus cribricollis (Guandi et al 2012). These studies are the prerequisite for any electrophysiological research and can suggest possible functions of sensilla by their morphology, number, distribution, and presence or absence on the antennae of the two sexes.…”

This work provides the first morphological analysis (both at gross and fine level) of the antennal structures in the genus Elater (Coleoptera, Elateridae). The typology, number and distribution patterns of the antennal sensilla in the rare saproxylic Elater ferrugineus (both male and female) were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The serrate antennae of E. ferrugineus consisted of a scape, a pedicel, and nine flattened flagellomeres. Overall, 10 types of sensilla were identified according to their morphological features: one type of sensilla chaetica (Ch), one type of Böhm sensilla (Bo), three types of sensilla trichodea (Tr.1-3), two types of sensilla basiconica (Ba.1-2), one type of sensilla styloconica (St), one type of grooved peg sensilla (Gp) and one type of sensilla campaniformia (Ca). A marked sexual dimorphism was found at both gross and fine scale. The male antenna was bigger (8.6 mm) than the female one (7.0 mm) and carried one type of sensilla trichodea (Tr.2) absent in female antennae possibly responsible for reception of the female-emitted sex pheromone. The female antenna carried a higher number of sensilla (~9800) than the male one did (~7,000), with more abundant sensilla chaetica (Ch) and basiconica (Ba.1 and Ba.2).

“…Insect antennae, which bear sensory sensilla, play an important role in the recognition of various stimuli for finding suitable habitats and food and for locating mates. Several reports have characterized the antennal sensilla of insects including their morphology and structure (Roth and Willis 1951;Merivee et al 1998;Renthal et al 2003;Sukontason et al 2007;Abdel-latief 2007;Onagbola & Fadamiro 2008;Rebora et al 2008;Drilling & Klass 2010;Sun et al 2011;Galvania et al 2012;Zhou et al 2015). However, the antennal sensilla of T. castaneum have not been studied despite the important role they play in the life of the insect.…”

The typology, number, and distribution pattern of antennal sensilla of the ground beetle Platynus dorsalis (Pontoppidan) (Coleoptera, Carabidae) were studied using scanning electron microscopy. The 4.3-4.6-mm-long filiform antennae of the beetles consist of the scape, pedicel, and nine flagellomeres. In both sexes, four subtypes of sensilla chaetica, five subtypes of sensilla basiconica, sensilla trichodea, two subtypes of sensilla campaniformia, sensilla auricillica, and sensilla coeloconica were distinguished. The possible function of the sensilla was discussed and three types of sensilla were considered as olfactory, sensilla trichodea and sensilla basiconica types 1 and 2. Olfactory sensilla form two separate, dorsal and ventral, fields of sensilla on the flagellomeres, which seems to be common in ground beetles. The total numbers of olfactory trichoid (approximately 1,000 hairs) and basiconic sensilla type 1 (1,700-1,800 pegs) on the antennae of P. dorsalis are 5-7 times higher than on the antennae of the ground beetle Bembidion lampros, suggesting that nocturnally active P. dorsalis is much more sensitive to odours perceived by these sensilla than B. lampros with diurnal activity and hunting predominantly by sight. No remarkable sexual differences in the types, numbers, and distribution of antennal sensilla were found in P. dorsalis.
