Abstract

Abstract This study presents the first scanning electron microscopy investigation of the antenna of adult Bahamiola orbitalis, a species of potential forensic relevance. The specimens used in the analysis were obtained from traps baited with decomposing chicken in Jamaica, and 16 males were used in the morphometric analysis of the species. The antennae of B. orbitalis exhibit the typical characteristics of cyclorrhaphan Diptera, with the scape, the pedicel, and the postpedicel that bears the arista. The distribution, number, and location of sensilla on the antennae are described. Five types of sensilla were observed. The scape and pedicel have only chaetic sensilla, the postpedicel bears trichoid, basiconic, coeloconic sensilla, and clavate sensilla. Basiconic sensilla were the most numerous sensilla found on the antennae. Coeloconic sensilla are short-pegged and located in sunken depressions. The ventral surface of the postpedicel bears one sensory pit. This study provides additional information about the structure of the antennae in Sarcophagidae. This can be used to compare evolutionary relationships and identify shared characteristics.

眼窝斑蝶触角的超微结构形态(双翅目:麻蝇科)

摘要这项研究首次对成年圆斑蝶的触角进行了扫描电子显微镜研究，这是一种潜在的法医学相关性物种。分析中使用的标本是从牙买加用腐烂的鸡作为诱饵的陷阱中获得的，16只雄性被用于该物种的形态计量分析。圆翅B.orbitalis的触角表现出环裂双翅目的典型特征，具有带马兜铃的花、蒂和蒂后。描述了触角上感受器的分布、数量和位置。观察到五种类型的感受器。花被和蒂只有毛状的感觉器，蒂后有毛状的、基性的、共腔的感觉器和棒状的感觉器。基锥状感受器是在触角上发现的数量最多的感受器。共感器是短钉状的，位于凹陷的凹陷中。足后的腹面有一个感觉凹陷。这项研究提供了关于石棺科触角结构的更多信息。这可以用来比较进化关系和识别共同的特征。
