“…Previous researchers suggested SAu are involved in olfactory function (Binyameen et al, 2012; Larsson et al, 2002). It is considered to be an olfactory receptor for plant volatiles (Anderson et al, 2000; Ansebo et al, 2005; Ebbinghaus et al, 1997; Frank et al, 2007; Pophof et al, 2005) and receptors for sex pheromones (Anderson et al, 2000; Faucheux, 2006). In S. littoralis , it is suggested that these sensilla can detect host plants for oviposition (Seada, 2015).…”

Stenachroia elongella is an important pest of maize in Meghalaya, India. To understand the roles of sensory organs in the biological behaviors of this insect, we determined the structure and distribution of sensilla found on the antenna of both male and female S. elongella by scanning electron microscope. The antenna of both sexes is a filiform type, and the overall length of the female antenna is significantly longer than the male antenna. In both sexes, seven types and two subtypes of antennal sensilla are identified; sensilla trichodea, sensilla chaetica, sensilla styloconica, sensilla coeloconica, sensilla auricillica (I, II), sensilla squamiformia and Böhm sensilla. No sexual dimorphism on the specific occurrence of sensilla is observed. Probable functions are discussed based on their external morphology. These results would be helpful for further studies on TEM investigations, electrophysiological recordings, and behavioral studies. Research Highlights Seven types and two subtypes of antennal sensilla were observed in both male and female Stenachroia elongella. Morphology and distribution of the antennal sensilla were discussed. Sexual dimorphism was observed on the overall length of the antenna where the female antenna is longer than the male antenna. No sexual dimorphism was observed on specific occurrences of antennal sensilla.
