Morphology and distribution of antennal sensilla of Gryon gallardoi (Brèthes) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) females.
With the aid of scanning electron microscopy, the external morphology and distribution of the antennal sensilla were described for females of Gryon gallardoi (Bréthes), an egg-parasitoid of coreids. The geniculated and clavated antennae are composed of 12 antennomeres. Along the flagelum we registered dorsal glands and seven types of sensilla: papillary, chaetica of two sizes--long and short ty...
متن کاملAntennal Sensilla in the Parasitoid Sclerodermus sp. (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae)
Parasitoid wasps of the genus Sclerodermus (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) are an important natural enemy of the Japanese pine sawyer beetle Monochamus alternatus Hope (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). In this study, we used scanning electron microscopy to examine the external morphology of the antennal sensilla of Sclerodermus sp. Antennae of females and males comprised the scape, pedicel, and 11 flagello...
متن کاملMorphology and distribution of antennal multiporous gustatory sensilla related to host recognition in some Trichogramma spp
Trichogramma spp. (Hymenoptera Trichogrammatidae) are endoparasitic wasps that attack the eggs of mainly Lepidoptera species. The morphology of the antennal multiporous gustatory sensilla of five Trichogramma species is studied and compared: Trichogramma cacoeciae Marchal, Trichogramma chilonis Ishii, Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura, Trichogramma turkestanica Meyer, and Trichogramma sibericum...
متن کاملDiverse Filters to Sense: Great Variability of Antennal Morphology and Sensillar Equipment in Gall-Wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae)
Comparative studies on antennal sensillar equipment in insects are largely lacking, despite their potential to provide insights into both ecological and phylogenetic relationships. Here we present the first comparative study on antennal morphology and sensillar equipment in female Cynipoidea (Hymenoptera), a large and diverse group of wasps, with special reference to the so-called gall-wasps (C...
متن کاملAnatomy of adult Megaphragma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), one of the smallest insects, and new insight into insect miniaturization
The body size, especially in cases of extreme reduction, is an important characteristic that strongly determines the morphology, physiology, and biology of animals. Miniaturization is a widespread trend in animal evolution and one of the principal directions of evolution in insects. Miniaturization-related features of insect morphology have been subject to intensive studies during the last few ...
