“…The length of ST1 is 2.4× longer in K. lacca than P. mahdihassani. These sensilla trichodea are similar to those described on Phenacoccus manihoti MatileFerrero (Pseudococcidae) (Le Ru et al, 1995), and on the antenna of other hemipterans like Riptortus pedestris F. (Alydidae), Elasmolomus sordidus (F.) (Lygaeidae), Cyclopelta siccifolia Westwood (Pentatomidae) and Chrysocoris purpureus (Westwood) (Pentatomidae) (Rani and Madhavendra, 2005), Diaphorina citri (Psyllidae) (Onagbola et al, 2008), and Euschistus heros (F.), Piezodorus guildinii (West.) and Edessa meditabunda (F.) (Pentatomidae) (Silva et al, 2010).…”

“…The antennal sensilla play an essential role being involved in detecting plant volatiles on the surface during exploration. There are several studies on antennal sensilla and their importance in hemipteran insects (Catala, 1997;Chinta et al, 1997;Le Ru et al, 1995;Onagbola et al, 2008;Madhavendra, 1995, 2005;Silva et al, 2010); however for lac insects there are only a few, that too light microscopic studies such as for Kerria lacca (Imms and Chatterjee, 1915;Kapur, 1962) and P. pseudolobata (Kondo and Gullan, 2007).…”

“…The use of olfactory cues by adult psyllids in host plant selection has been demonstrated in olfactometer studies (Patt and Sétamou 2010;Wenninger et al 2009;Sanchez 2009). In addition, the presence of olfactory sensilla on the antennae of adult D. citri was reported (Onagbola et al 2008), and these sensilla may be responsive to different host plant odors. Studies on the repellent effects of guava to adult D. citri have been reported (Zaka et al 2010), further supporting the hypothesis of olfactory cues perception by D. citri.…”

Diurnal Patterns of Flight Activity and Effects of Light on Host Finding Behavior of the Asian Citrus Psyllid

et al. 2011

The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), is an invasive pest of citrus in the United States. The psyllid feeds and reproduces primarily on new flush growth of citrus and other rutaceous plants. Because it vectors the bacterial causal agents of the deadly citrus greening disease, D. citri is potentially a pest of economic importance in all citrus growing areas where it occurs together with the disease. We investigated the diurnal patterns of its flight activity in the field and the effects of light on its host selection and egg laying behaviors. The numbers of adult psyllids caught on yellow sticky traps were 3 to 4-fold higher during daytime than nighttime. Daytime flight activity of D. citri adults also varied with time of the day with peak catches occurring at midday from 1200 to 1500 h. Illumination of the traps at night increased their attractiveness to adult psyllids by 5-fold. Similarly, light significantly increased plant colonization by adults and female egg deposition on potted plants in the laboratory. These results showed that the flight activity and host selection behavior of adult psyllids are regulated by light and circadian rhythms. Thus, adult psyllids utilize light as visual cues in their host-plant selection process.

“…Typically sensilla with branched type of processes in insects have been suggested to be olfactory in function (Steinbrecht 1984;Hallberg et al 2003;Kristoffersen et al 2006;Onagbola and Fadamiro 2008;Onagbola et al 2009). …”

-The present study was undertaken to examine sensory structures on the mouthparts in Apis florea Fabricius (1787) from north western region (India) using scanning electron microscopy. Ultra morphological details revealed that mouthparts of the dwarf honey bees were studded with different sensory structures including sensilla chaetica (A, B and C); sensilla basiconica; sensilla trichodea C; nodulated-form sensilla trichodea C; hair membrane plate sensilla; branched processes and cuticular plate sensilla, which made the organism efficient in forage detection and collection. Sensilla chaetica were found on prementum, galea, labial palps and the glossa and made flow of liquid food to the buccal cavity convenient. Sensilla basiconica were found on labial palps and served probably as a thermoreceptor and hygroreceptor. Cuticular plate sensilla on labial palps and hair membrane plate sensilla found on galea may serve to adjust the segments of the organ and act as mechanoreceptors. The identification and analysis of the distribution of various types of sensilla on the tongue of A. florea should be helpful when addressing questions on the ecological and systematic characterisation of the species in future investigations.Apis florea / honey bee / scanning electron microscopy / sensilla / mouthparts
