为了研究家蚕(Bombyxmori)成虫触角的外部形态及其感受器的种类和分布,利用扫描电子显微镜对家蚕成虫触角感器的形态特征进行了观察.结果表明,家蚕雌、雄蛾触角上存在7种感器,即毛形感器、短毛形感器、锥形感器、刺形感器、腔锥形感器、耳形感器和鳞形感器,其中腔锥形感器只存在于雄蛾触角上,毛形感器在雌雄触角中都最发达.该结果为家蚕的形态、生理和化学生态研究奠定了基础.
In order to study the morphology of the antennae,the type and distribution of the antennal sensilla of adult Bombyx mori,scanning electron microscope was used to observe the morphology of the antennae sensilla of adult B.mori.Results showed that seven types of sensilla including sensilla trichodea,short sensilla trichodea,sensilla basiconica,sensillachaetica,sensilla coeloconica,sensilla auricillica and sensilla squamiformium were observed on the male and female antennae.Sensilla coeloconica existed only in male antennae.Sensilla trichodea was numerous in both male and female.It will provide basis for further studying morphology,physiology and chemical ecology of silkworm.
