Ultrastructure of coeloconic sensilla on postpedicel and maxillary palp of Megaselia scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae)

The external morphology of coeloconic sensilla (peg-like sense organs protruding from deep pits) on the postpedicel (third antennal segment) and maxillary palp from a female Megaselia scalaris (Loew) is described using scanning electron microscopy. The pegs of the sensilla located on the postpedicel...
