“…Ultramorphology on the antennal sensilla of the nepomorphan superfamily has been conducted systematically in several studies [24][25][26][27], using a consistent terminology for the sensilla types. A previous study on the antennal sensilla of one family of Pleidae (Notonectoidea) was presented by Garza et al [33]. The basic problem when comparing the sensillar types of some taxa of Nepomorpha is the different classification of the sensilla used by the mentioned authors.…”

“…This current study of Pleidae pointed to the three types of sensilla trichoidea (ST1, ST2 and ST5). These types of sensilla are compared with the trichoid and leaf-like sensilla of the pleid species distinguished by Garza et al [33]. The results are shown in Table 3.…”

“…This sensillum has a very wide surface but is significantly shorter than ST4. The sensilla ST5 in Notonectoidea are similar to: SPL1 in Nepoidea [24], SCIL in Ochteridae and Gelastocoridae [25], ST3 in some species of Naucoridae [27] and Sl2 in Pleidae [33]. Some differences are present in the shapes and sizes of mechanosensilla, making it difficult to find an exact match between multiple taxa.…”

“…Moreover, Altner et al [43] suggested that such morphological characters of the sensillum (aporous and seated in an inflexible socket) represent a sensillum whose structural features can be regarded as adaptations to thermo-hygoreception. From previous studies, it follows that the nepomorphan species possess thermo-hygrosensilla on their antennae, and that they can be used to assess water temperature and humidity in habitats [24][25][26][27]32,33].…”

“…More detailed studies on the morphologies, distributions and functions of antennal sensilla were conducted in a systemic approach, based on numerous species of Nepidae, Belostomatidae [24], Aphelocheiridae, Ochteridae, Gelastocoridae [25], Corix-idae, Micronectidae [26] and Naucoridae [27]. Moreover, Garza et al [33] published research on the antennae and sensilla of some species of Pleidae, with an emphasis on their morphologies and suspected functions. The present study on Notonectoidean taxa and aforementioned water bugs allows for a detailed comparison of antennal morphology and sensillar equipment between many families, subfamilies and species with the goal of proposing preliminary hypotheses on their evolution, by mapping salient traits and comparing them with the most recent nepomorphan phylogeny presented by Ye et al [8].…”

This article introduces the results of a study of three families of Nepomorpha and is the last part of a series of studies that sums up our work on the morphologies of the antennal sensory structures in this taxon. The morphologies and distribution of the sensilla in the families Notonectidae, Pleidae and Helotrephidae were studied under a scanning electron microscope. Six main types (sensilla trichodea, chaetica, campaniformia, basiconica, ampullacea and coeloconica) and ten subtypes (five subtypes of sensilla trichodea and five subtypes of sensilla basiconica) were described. The results were compared with other studies on the antennal sensilla of Nepomorpha in order to assess evolutionary changes within the infraorder. With the use of cladistics analysis, the monophyly of the families Nepidae, Micronectidae, Corixidae and Gelastocoridae was supported. On the other hand, the occurrence of some clades forming superfamilies was weakly supported by bootstrap analysis. These results, supported by presence of the numerous autapomorphies, suggest that antennal sensilla evolved within inner groups.

The comparative morphology study on antennal sensilla of Aphelocheirus ellipsoideus from the family Aphelocheiridae, carried out with the use of a scanning electron microscope, is provided. Five main types of mechano-, chemo-, and thermohygroreceptive sensilla with two subtypes of sensilla basiconica were found and described on their surface, including sensilla trichodea, campaniformia, basiconica, ampullacea, and plate-like. Antennal sensilla of A. ellipsoideus on macropterous and brachypterous forms were different.

Abundance and distribution of antennal sensilla on males and females of three sympatric species of alpine grasshopper (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Catantopinae) in Aotearoa New Zealand

et al. 2022

Brachaspis nivalis, Sigaus australis and Paprides nitidus are grasshopper species endemic to Aotearoa, New Zealand where they are sympatric in several regions of South Island. On mountains of Kā Tiritiri o te Moana (Southern Alps), B. nivalis is more abundant on scree/rock habitat, whereas S. australis and P. nitidus are prevalent in alpine tussock and herbfields. It is expected, therefore, that these species have different sensory needs that are likely to be apparent in the type, abundance, and distribution of chemo-sensilla on their antennae. It is also likely that natural selection has resulted in sexual differences in sensilla. To test these hypotheses, abundance and distribution of the chemo-sensilla on the dorsal and ventral surfaces of their antennae were characterized in adult males and females of the three species. Five types of chemo-sensilla were identified on the distal portion of their antenna: chaetica, basiconica, trichoidea, coeloconica, and cavity. All species had significantly more chemo-sensilla on the ventral than the dorsal surface of antennae and a similar distribution pattern of chemo-sensilla. Despite having relatively short antenna, B. nivalis had the largest number of olfactory sensilla, but the fewest chaetica of the three species studied. A plausible explanation is that B. nivalis is abundant on less vegetated habitats compared to the other species, and therefore may rely more on olfaction (distance) than gustatory (contact) reception for finding food. No significant differences were observed between the sexes of B. nivalis and P. nitidus, however, S. australis males had significantly more basiconica sensilla than females.
