“…In addiction, due to their slow movements and cryptic behavior these larvae result difficult to detect and remove. For this reason, some species are now synanthropic and cosmopolitan (Bouchet, Lavaud & Deschamps, 1996;Gamarra, Outerelo & Hernández, 2009), having been spread all over the world with trade. These species became serious pests, causing considerable loss and damage to stored goods of both animal and plant origin (Hinton, 1945;Burges, 1959;Kantack & Staples, 1969;Mroczkowski, 1975;Beal, 1991;Veer, Prasad & Rao, 1991a;Veer, Prasad & Rao, 1991b;Veer & Rao, 1995;Veer, Negi & Rao, 1996;Imura, 2003;Rajendran & Hajira Parveen, 2005;Lawrence & Slipinski, 2010) and to objects of organic origin in museums of cultural and natural history (Jurecka, Gebhart & Mainitz, 1987;Zaitseva, 1987;Armes, 1988;Bousquet, 1990;Pinniger & Harmon, 1999;Stengaard et al, 2012;Querner, 2015).…”

“…The exposure to and inhalation of hastisetae, even in the form of dust, are reported to cause rhinoconjunctivitis (Brito et al, 2002) and asthma (Cuesta-Herranz et al, 1997;Brito et al, 2002;Bernstein et al, 2009). Megatominae are also one of the arthropod groups most commonly recorded inside houses (Gamarra, Outerelo & Hernández, 2009;Bertone et al, 2016;Madden et al, 2016); the larvae persist in these environments for months, even for years, feeding on food (Gorham, 1979;Gorham, 1989;Hirao, 2000), pet food (Rudolph et al, 1981), dust, insect remains and clothes, especially wool fabric (Bouchet, Lavaud & Deschamps, 1996). This prolonged presence inside houses together with the persistence of the hastisetae in the environment greatly increase the possibility for the humans to come into contact and develop a sensitization to these detachable hairs (Wiseman et al, 1959;Ayres & Mihan, 1967;Kaufman, Bado & Tovey, 1986;Burgess, 1993;Jakubas-Zawalska et al, 2016).…”

Hastisetae are a specific group of detachable setae characterizing the larvae of Megatominae (Coleoptera: Dermestidae), commonly known as carpet and khapra beetles. These setae are located on both thoracic and abdominal tergites and they are the primary defense of the larva against invertebrate predators. According to previous studies, the main purpose of hastisetae is to work as a mechanical obstacle, but they are also capable to block and kill a predator. Hastisetae, single or aggregate, function as an extremely efficient mechanical trap, based on an entangling mechanism of cuticular structures (spines and hairs) and body appendages (antennae, legs and mouthparts). It is believed that this defensive system evolved primarily to contrast predation by invertebrates, however it has been observed that hastisetae may affect vertebrates as well. Although information on the impacts of vertebrate predators of the beetles is lacking, hastisetae have been shown to be a possible threat for human health as an important contaminant of stored products (food and fabric), work and living environment. Review of past and recent literature on dermestid larvae has revealed that despite these structures indicated as one of the distinctive characters in species identification, very little is known about their ultrastructure, evolution and mechanism of action. In the present work, we will provide the state of knowledge on hastisetae in Dermestidae and we will present and discuss future research perspectives intended to bridge the existing knowledge gaps.
