Abstract:

Ultra-structure, number and distribution of sensilla on the antennae of Anoplophora glabripennis were observed and studied with an environmental scanning electron microscope. The results show that the linear antenna consists of the scape, pedicel and nine flagellomeres. There are 5 types and 13 kinds of sensilla on the antennae, including 5 kinds of sensilla chaeticas, 2 kinds of sensilla trichodeas, 4 kinds of sensilla basiconcas, 1 kind of sensilla campullacea, and 1 kind of finger sensilla. No difference is found in the type of sensilla between male and female adults. However the sensilla distribution in male and female shows dimorphism.

Key words: Anoplophora glabripennis, antenna, sensilla, environmental scanning electron microscope
