Three fruit borers Conogethes punctiferalis (Guenée) (Crambidae), Grapholita molesta Busck (Tortricidae), and Spilonota albicana Motschulsky (Tortricidae) are serious pests of fruit trees. In this study, their antennal morphology, types of sensilla, and distributions were observed by using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). Nine types of sensilla were found on the antennae of C. punctiferalis, while eight types of sensilla were presented on each of G. molesta and S. albicana. The sensilla trichodea with two subtypes were the most abundant sensilla among three fruit borers. Two subtypes of sensillum coeloconica (type I with spines and type II without spines) were observed on the antennae of C. punctiferalis and G. molesta. However, sensilla coeloconica (type I) were only found in S. albicana. Although the sensilla campaniformia were only found on the antennae of C. punctiferalis, our observations confirm sensilla campaniformia presence in the moths. In addition, the functions of these sensilla were discussed based on previously reported lepidopteran insects. As a result, our study may provide useful information for advanced electrophysiological and behavioral experiments to better understand the mechanisms related to pests control.

“…This type of sensillum has been described also in other heteropteran species by Brezot et al (1996) and Chinta et al (1997) with the same functional hypothesis. This supposed gustatory function finds a good correspondence with their location at the distal end of the last segment of antenna.…”

The fine structural characteristics of the antennal sensory organs of a female millipede Oxidus gracilis (Polydesmida: Paradoxomatidae) were observed with both field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We could identify four apical cones and three basic types of antennal sensillae in O. gracilis as follows: chaetiform sensilla (CS), trichoid sensilla (TS) and basiconic sensilla (BS). Of these, both types of CS and TS can be observed throughout all antennal segments except the terminal 8th article, whereas the BS are observed within the cuticular depressed regions of the articles from the 5th to the 7th segment. According to their relative size, microstructure and location, the BS are divided further into three subtypes: large (BS 1 ), small (BS 2 ) and spiniform (BS 3 ). The BS 1 can be seen on the 5th article only, while BS 2 can be seen on the 5th and 6th articles. The BS 3 is characteristically seen within the depressive region of the 7th article. Both the CS and TS of O. gracilis are similar in structure, and they are related to the function of mechanical reception; however, four large apical cones (AP) and three subtypes of BS are likely to function in gustatory and olfactory reception.

“…However, differences in sensitivities and numbers of sensilla, particularly on chemosensilla, become apparent when blood feeders and other insects are compared. Studies from two hemiptera, C. lectularius, an haematophagous Cimicidae (Steinbrecht & Muller 1976), and Ligus lineolaris a phytophagous Miridae (Chinta et al 1997) showed morphological types of antennal sensilla very similar to triatomine. But differences are present regarding the distribution and sordida, the thin walled trichoidea are more abundant in males than in females.…”
