Abstract Chrysis shanghalensis Smith (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) is an ectoparasitoid and important natural enemy of Monema flavescens Walker (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae), a serious defoliator of a number of tree species. The external morphology of the antennal sensilla of this parasitoid was examined by scanning electron microscopy, and types and distribution of sensilla were recorded. The antennae of C. shanghalensis were geniculate in shape and composed of a scape with radicula, a pedicel, and a flagellum divided into 11 flagellomeres in males and females. Cuticular pore and 14 types of sensilla were identified on the antennae of both sexes. These included aporous Böhm's bristles, sensilla trichodea 1, 2, and 3 (nonporous), sensilla trichodea 4 (multiporous), two types of sensilla chaetica (nonporous), four morphological types of sensilla basiconica (multiporous), two morphological types of sensilla coeloconica (multiporous), and one type of sensillum campaniforme (nonporous).

Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the morphology, ultrastructure, and distribution of antennal sensilla of the stink bug Arma chinensis. Two types of sensilla trichodea (ST1–2), four types of sensilla basiconica (SB 1– 4), one type of sensilla chaetica (SCH), one type of sensilla cavity (SCA) and one type of sensilla coeloconica (SCO) were distinguished on the antennae in both sexes. ST1 and ST2 were absent from the scape and pedicel. SB1 were absent from the scape. SB2 were distributed throughout the antennae. SB3 were located on the second pedicel and the two flagellomeres. SB4 were absent from the second flagellomere. SCH was observed on the second pedicel and the two flagellomeres. SCA and SCO occurred only on the second flagellomere. SB1 clusters occurred on the distal part of the second flagellomere. We compared the morphology and structure of these sensilla to other Heteroptera and discuss their possible functions.

The morphology and distribution of the antennal sensilla of Megalurothrips usitatus Bagnall and Thrips palmi Karny were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These are serious pests of various economically important crops, and their antennae are important in chemical communication. The antennae of both species consist of a scape, pedicel, and flagellum, but the flagellum of M. usitatus is made up of six sub-segments, whereas that of T. palmi consists of five sub-segments. Seven morphological sensilla types, including Böhm bristle (BB), sensilla campaniformia (Sca), three types of sensilla basiconica (Sb1, Sb2 and Sb3), two types of sensilla chaetica (Sch1 and Sch2), sensilla styloconica (Sst), sensilla trichodea (St), and sensilla cavity (Scav), were recorded in both species. The scape and pedicels exhibited Sch1, BB and Sca. The flagellum exhibited two types of Sch, three types of Sb, St, Sst and Scav. Based on these results, the putative function of the sensilla of M. usitatus and T. palmi are also discussed.

Antennal surface structure of the Japanese tusser, Antheraea yamamai was observed by scanning electron microscope. The antennae of male and female were bipectinate with scape, pedicel and 33--37 flagellar segments. There were two pairs of equal long branch on eacli flagellar segment of male (Fig.1), but a pair of longer and a pair of shorter on female's (Fig.2).Seven types of sensillum, namely sensillum trichodeum, sensillum cheaticum, sensillum coeloconicum, sensillum campaniformlum, sensillum styloconicum, Bohm's bristle and sensillum squamiformium wer found on the antenna both of male and female. The sensillum trichodeum could be subdivided into long and short according to the shape and surface substructure. The long sensillum trichodeum had a diameter of 4.8μm at its base. It was reratively stright and slightly curved at the tip (Fig.3). The short sensillum trichodeum was 2.5--3.6 μm in diameter at the base. It was shorter, strongly bend down near its base and run parallel with the surface of the antenna (Fig.4). The surface of long and short sensilla trichodea were covered with annular ridges (Fig.5).
