“…The concept of sensory (or ‘olfactory’) pits needs clarification, as any depression on the cuticle in connection with sensilla are sometimes referred to as a sensory pit 37 40 . McAlpine 19 differentiated between “simple pits” as opposed to the “deep, sac-like invagination of the cuticle of segment 3 containing several trichoid sensilla and opening to the exterior by a relatively small pore”, which Lowne 41 termed the ‘sacculus’.…”

Antennae are among the most elaborate sensory organs in adult flies, and they provide rich information for phylogenic studies. The antennae of five out of eight species of Gasterophilus Leach (G. haemorrhoidalis (Linnaeus), G. intestinalis (De Geer), G. nasalis (Linnaeus), G. nigricornis (Loew) and G. pecorum (Fabricius)), were examined using scanning electron microscopy. The general morphology, including distribution, type, size, and ultrastructure of antennal sensilla were presented, and the definition of auriculate sensilla and sensory pits were updated and clarified. Eighteen antennal characters were selected to construct the first species-level phylogeny of this genus. The monophyly of Gasterophilus was supported by the presence of coeloconic sensilla III on the antennal arista. The species-level cladogram showed G. pecorum branching off at the base, and the remaining species forming the topology (G. intestinalis+ (G. haemorrhoidalis+ (G. nasalis+ G. nigricornis))). Our research shows the importance of the antennal ultrastructure as a reliable source for phylogenetic analysis.

“…Chaetic sensilla are found on the scape and pedicel of H. illucens and are variable in size. They are found on the scape and pedicel of other species of Stratiomyidae (Jorgensen & James, 1968;Rozkosný, 1983) and, in other species of Diptera, they have been attributed to a mechanoreceptive sensory function (de Freitas Fernandes, Linardi, & Chiarini-Garcia, 2002).…”

Sensory morphology, investment and plasticity in the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)

The importance of sensory traits, such as the development of the antennae and compound eyes, can be seen in the wide range of reproductive life history strategies employed by insects. Despite this, few studies have investigated the scaling relationships of sensory traits and body size which may give insight into the selective pressures driving this diversity. The commercially important species Hermetia illucens, or black soldier fly, was used to investigate the following: (1) the ultrastructural morphology of the antennae in H. illucens through the use of scanning electron microscopy; (2) the allometry of sensory traits and a dispersal trait (wing size) in the black soldier fly and a comparison of the allometries of the sexes and between two separate populations, (3) the effects of larval density on developmental phenotypic plasticity of sensory traits. I discovered a wide range of allometries that shed light on potential strategies utilised by the species to improve fitness. Some traits also showed sexual dimorphism and were explained by the unusual lek-like mating behaviour exhibited by adult males. Finally, I found that lower larval densities resulted in larger antennae suggesting that this species predicts future environmental conditions based on larval rearing conditions and adapt their adult morphology to maximise fitness.

“…Sexual dimorphism in antennae of Diptera is moderated and probably related to different functions roles of females and males (Slifer and Sekhon 1964;Bay and Pitts 1976;Mayo et al 1987;Ross and Anderson 1987;Stocker 1994Stocker , 2001Rahal et al 1996;De Freitas Fernandes et al 2002Sukontason et al 2004;Chen and Fadamiro 2008;Setzu et al 2011). For instance, location of oviposition sites in females or a mating partner in males (Rahal et al 1996;De Freitas Fernandes et al 2002.…”

“…In higher Diptera (i.e. Brachycera) as species of Asilidae, the first flagellomere (postpedicel or funiculus) is endowed with sensory pits and almost all sensilla are important in the detection of chemical cues (Hallberg et al 1984;Stocker 1994;Rahal et al 1996;De Freitas Fernandes et al 2002Wasserman and Itagaki 2003;Sukontason et al 2004Sukontason et al , 2007Sukontason et al , 2008Chen and Fadamiro 2008;Smallengange et al 2008;Castrejon-Gomez and Rojas 2009;Hu et al 2010;Poddighe et al 2010;Bisottode-Oliveira et al 2011;Setzu et al 2011;Wang et al 2012;Zhang et al 2013a, b). In Asilidae species, the antenna is composed of four segments, the scape and pedicel often with stout bristles, and two flagellomeres, the pubescent but without bristles postpedicel, and the stylus that is usually bi-segmented, occasionally singly segmented (Wood 1981;Yeates 2002).…”
