Abstract:The feeding tube of Hybomitra difficilis is made up of a short distal vestibule followed by a food canal that leads to the cibarium; the two regions demarcated by the vestibule/food canal junction. Two pairs of sensilla were consistently observed in the vestibular walls, the first pair of basiconic design in the mid-vestibular region, and the latter pair of setiform design at the base of the vestibule. Food canal sensilla, which varied from 45 to 73 (n = 20; mean = 50.15; ± 1 SD = 10.02), were aggregated in th… Show more
