The antennal lobes of the moth Manduca sexta are composed of two distinct classes of central neurons: local interneurons, involved in sensory processing within the lobe, and output neurons, the relay elements carrying sensory information to higher neuropil centres in the brain. The different types of neurons in each class share many characteristics. All of the local interneurons have extensive multiglomerular dendritic arborizations and lack distinct axons while all of the output neurons have uniglomerular dendritic arborizations. In addition to these general characteristics the central neurons of the antennal lobes also possess a distinct sexual dimorphism. Only the male moth responds to the female sex pheromone. All of the central neurons in the antennal lobe of the male moth th at respond to pheromone have dendritic branches located in the macroglomerular complex, a male-specific neuropil region. Two types of pheromone-sensitive local interneurons have been described morphologically and physiologically while a single type of output neuron has been found that has a dendritic arborization in the macroglomerular complex.

We provide an updated checklist of Orthoptera and their allies for each Maritime province of Canada with details for 21 new species records. Drumming Katydid (Meconema thalassinum), recorded from Nova Scotia (NS) and Prince Edward Island (PEI), and Sprinkled Grasshopper (Chloealtis conspersa), recorded from New Brunswick (NB) are reported for the first time from the Maritimes as a whole. We report range extensions in the Maritime region for Australian Cockroach (Periplaneta australasiae; NB), Treetop Bush Katydid (Scudderia fasciata; NS), Short-legged Camel Cricket (Ceuthophilus brevipes; PEI), Spotted Camel Cricket (Ceuthophilus maculatus; PEI), Roesel’s Shield-backed Katydid (Roeseliana roesellii; NS), and Black-horned Tree Cricket (Oecanthus nigricornis; PEI). Short-winged Mole Cricket (Neoscapteriscus abbreviatus; NB) and European Mole Cricket (Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa; NS) are reported as adventives (non-native species that are believed to be not yet established), new to Canada from the Maritimes. Other new records for species not known to be established are Lined Earwig (Doru taeniatum; NS), Australian Cockroach (Periplaneta australasiae; PEI), American Cockroach (Periplaneta americana; NB), Brown Cockroach (Periplaneta brunnea; PEI), Smooth Cockroach (Nyctibora laevigata; NB), West Indian Leaf Cockroach (Blaberus discoidalis; NB), an unidentified Parcoblatta species (NB), Brown-banded Cockroach (Supella longipalpa; PEI), Praying Mantis (Mantis religiosa; NB), and American Bird Grasshopper (Schistocerca americana; NS).
