Bark beetle olfactionII. Antennal morphology of sixteen species of Scolytidae (Coleoptera)

abstract

• A SEM study was carried out on the antennae of several species of the scolytid genera Dendroctonus, Ips, Pseudohylesinus, Scolytus and Trypodendron. Although some genera have the same number of antennal segments, the shape of the antennal club was distinct for each genus. For all species the majority of sensilla occurred on the club and consisted of sensilla basiconica, sensilla chaetica and sensilla trichodea. The sensilla were arranged in sensory fields or bands on the club. Speculation is presented on the possible function of some of the sensilla. 1973.
