Ultrastructure of sensilla of Pristiphora erichsonii larvae
In order to investigate the types,distribution and ultrastructure of sensilla in larvae of Pristiphora erichsonii,and to predict the functions of each sensilla,the types and morphological structure of sensilla on the heads,feet and body surfaces of P.erichsonii larvae were observed using the scanning electron microscope.A total of seven types of sensilla were found on the heads,feet and body surfaces of larvae,including sensilla chaetica(type Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ),sensilla basiconica,sensilla styloconica,Bohm's bristles,sensilla cavity(type Ⅰand Ⅱ),sensilla campaniformia and sensilla trichodea(typeland Ⅱ).Among these,sensilla chaetica were the most numerous and widely distributed.Based on previous studies on the sensilla of other insects,the functions of each type of sensilla in P.erichsonii larvae were speculated.This study enhances the understanding of the ultrastructure of the sensilla in P.erichsonii larvae,and provided a morphological basis for further study on their behavior and taxonomy.
