  • Title: Olfaction in the Colorado potato beetle: ultrastructure of antennal sensilla in Leptinotarsa sp.
    Author: Sen A, Mitchell BK.
    Journal: J Biosci; 2001 Jun; 26(2):233-46. PubMed ID: 11426059.
    Abstract:
    Sensillae on the antennae of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata are described using scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy and compared with SEM observations of antennal sensilla in L. haldemani and L. texana. In all the three species, 13 distinct sensillar types were identified with a higher density of sensilla in the more polyphagous species, L. decemlineata than in the moderately host specific L. haldemani and the highly host specific L. texana. Cuticular specializations and the predominance of olfactory sensilla are discussed in relation to host specificity in the three species.
