The sensilla on head, antenna and mouth parts in Aelia rostrata Boh. (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae): A scanning electron microscopical study |
Author : Irmak Polat, Hanife Gözüpek, Suat Kiyak, Zekiye Suludere |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The sensilla who act as thermohygroreceptor, chemoreceptor, or mechanoreceptor are the main sensory structures of insects. Insects carry different types, numbers and distributions of sensilla in body parts such as head, antenna, mouth parts, and leg segments. In this study, the sensilla types on the head, antenna and mouth parts of Aelia rostrata Boh. (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae) were invastigated with using scanning electron microscope. According to the results of the study, 4 major types of sensilla with different diameters and cone-shaped protrusions have been identified: sensilla basiconica, sensilla trichodea, sensilla peg, and sensilla campaniformia. These sensilla show different distributions in the examined structures of the insect. The results obtained from the study were also com-pared with other species in the literature, and similarities and differences were revealed. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The study was carried out in the provinces of Elazig and Diyarbakir between 2020-2021. In the studies conducted in nature and in laboratory conditions, it is observed that the species does not feed on advanced larval stages of the pest. From the species identified in the study, Deraeocoris trifasciatus Linnaeus, 1767 and Globiceps sphaegiformis Rossi, 1790 species belonging to the Miridae family were observed in nature, and Nagusta goedelii Kolenati, 1857 and Zelus (Diplodacus) renardii (Kolenati, 1856) species belonging to the Reduviidae family were observed to in laboratory conditions to feed on the pest. Geocoris luridus Fieber, 1844 and Geocoris putonianus Bergroth, 1892 species belonging to the Geocoridae family were found to be abundant in nature before the pest began to be observed in nature. Brachycoleus steini Jakovlev, 1884 specimens and Macrotylus ponticus Seidenstücker, 1966 found in abundance in the garden at the larval period of pest of these species. It has not been determined that they feed on pests. All species have been detected in the fau-na of both provinces. These species are also the first record for the provinces where they have been found. |
