“…In the present study, the shape and number of the antennal segments of the males and females P. papatasi coincide with the previously described in the New World sand flies: males and females of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Fernandes et al, 2008); the females of Nyssomyia intermedia (Fernandes et al, 2020) and Old World sand flies: Ilango (2000) in female P. argentipes; and Bahia et al (2021) in females P. duboscqi. Few studies were available in literature on the antennae of male sand flies.…”

“…The long blunt-tipped trichoid sensilla and squamiform sensilla of P. papatasi are morphologically similar and were described in some other sand fly species (Bahia et al, 2021;Fernandes et al, 2008Fernandes et al, , 2020. However, they can be easily distinguished from each other by the serrations found on the long blunt-tipped trichoid, while the squamiformia sensilla were characterized by brush-like pilosities covering its dorsal surface.…”

“…To classify sensillary types, we adopted the nomenclature originally developed by researchers in insect sense organs (e.g., McIver, 1982;Zacharuk, 1985;Hallberg & Hansson, 1999) and updated for the sensory subtypes by Fernandes et al (2020). The general aspects of the antennal segments of P. papatasi as well as the typology and distribution of antennal sensilla have been documented by SEM and discussed with the previous studies carried out on P. papatasi (Jobling, 1987;Quate, 1964;Zayed et al, 2002a) and other sand fly species (Ilango, 2000;Zayed et al, 2002aZayed et al, , 2002bFernandes et al, 2008;Fernandes et al, 2020;Bahia et al, 2021).…”

“…The basiconic sensilla were observed on P. papatasi as small sensilla, with their base directly inserted into the cuticle and occurred in sets of three spine-like sensilla. The basiconic sensilla were observed as small little fingers in female P. duboscqi (Bahia et al, 2021) a closely related species to P. papatasi. The morphological functional classification of these sensilla was considered olfactory (Fernandes et al, 2020).…”

“…Few studies were available in literature on the antennae of male sand flies. Most studies focused on females because they are most targeted in control campaigns and they solely feed on blood and thus could be easily located near its vertebrate hosts (Bahia et al, 2021). The antennae of male P. papatasi were longer than in females, which could provide more sensorial zone of pheromone and allelochemical perception (Romero-López et al, 2010).…”

Background Since sand flies are insects of medical importance and most of its sensilla were found on the antennae, the present investigation was designed to characterize the ultrastructure of the antennae of males and females and the sensilla distribution using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results The filiform antenna of males and females consisted of a scape, pedicel, and flagellum. Male antennae appeared longer than those of females and exhibited obvious sexual dimorphism. In addition to the microtrichiae, six cuticular sensillary types, namely trichoid, coeloconic (subtype the common grooved coeloconic), chaetic, campaniform, squamiform, and the basiconic, were identified. The trichoid sensilla occurred in five subtypes, namely long blunt-tipped trichoid, short sharp-tipped trichoid, short blunt-tipped trichoid, medium pointed-tipped trichoid, and apical trichoid. Little changes in the number and distribution pattern of same sensillar types between males and females were revealed. Trichoid sensilla were the most abundant of all sensillar types. The short sharp-tipped trichoid sensilla were observed on the pedicel of males, while in females they were found on both scape and pedicel. The position of the apical trichoid sensilla on the last flagellomere differs in males than in females. Conclusions The current study is the first to describe differences in the last three flagellomeres between males and females. Our results could provide a foundation for further research on sensory organs and approaches for the control of sand flies and enable for the use of new taxonomic characters to differentiate among species.
