“…Similar chaetic sensilla have been described as "sensilla with a thick wall" (Elizarov and Chaika 1977), or more recently as "trichoid sensilla" (Ivanov 2007). The distribution of chaetic sensilla on the scape and pedicel is also similar to that of other Tabanidae (Lall 1970;Elizarov and Chaika 1977;Faucheux 1981;Parashar et al 1994;Ivanov 2007). As in H. pandazisi, the chaetic sensilla are found in the proximal part of the first flagellomere in Hybomitra lasiophthalma (Macquart) and Tabanus lineola Fabricius (Lall 1970), H. pluvialis and Tabanus bromius L. (Elizarov and Chaika 1977).…”

The chaetic sensilla observed on the distal part of each flagellomere in H. pandazisi have also been observed in Chrysops vittatus Wiedemann, H. lasiophthalma, T. lineola (Lall 1970), Chrysops relictus Meigen, H. pluvialis, T. bromius (Elizarov and Chaika 1977), and Atylotus fulvus Meigen (Faucheux 1981).…”

“…The antennae of females of this species are characterized by five types of sensilla: chaetic, clavate, coeloconic, basiconic and trichoid. As in other species of Tabanidae, the chaetic sensilla of H. pandazisi are articulated, with longitudinal grooves and a sharp tip (Lall 1970;Elizarov and Chaika 1977;Faucheux 1981;Parashar et al 1994;Ivanov 2007).

The chaetic sensilla form an encircling "crown" around the proximal region of the first flagellomere in H. pandazisi; whereas in H. lasiophthalma, T. lineola (Lall 1970), H. pluvialis and T. bromius (Elizarov and Chaika 1977) they are grouped together in one or two tufts.…”

“…Morphological studies on the antennae of Tabanidae are limited and the antennae of only two species of Haematopota have been described: Haematopota pluvialis L. (Smith 1919;Elizarov and Chaika 1977) and Haematopota dissimilis Ricardo (Parashar et al 1994). Other tabanid genera for which the antennae have been described are Atylotus, Chrysops, Hybomitra, and Tabanus (Smith 1919;Lall 1970;Elizarov and Chaika 1977;Faucheux 1981;Parashar et al 1994;Ivanov 2007). The antennae of H. pandazisi are generally similar to those of other species of the genus (Chvála et al 1972).…”

Ultrastructural characterization of sensilla and microtrichia on the antenna of female Haematopota pandazisi (Diptera: Tabanidae)

et al. 2018

The haematophagous females of the cleg fly Haematopota pandazisi (Kröber) (Diptera: Tabanidae) are a common pest in areas inhabited by wild and domestic ungulates in southern Europe, North Africa and Anatolia. A morphological investigation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was carried out for the first time on the antennae of females of H. pandazisi, with special attention to the type and distribution of sensilla and microtrichia. The typical brachyceran antenna is divided into three regions: the scape, the pedicel and the flagellum, which is the longest of the three and is composed of four flagellomeres. The scape and pedicel are characterized by only one type of microtrichium and chaetic sensillum, whereas five types of microtrichia and sensilla were identified on the flagellum and classified according to shape and distribution. The sensilla are of the chaetic, clavate, basiconic, trichoid and coeloconic types; the latter with either a basiconic or grooved peg inside. The results obtained in this study were compared to those found in other species in the family Tabanidae and other Diptera, with special attention to haematophagous species.
