Two new species of Protura are described:Baculentulus wenyingae sp.nov.and Pseudanisentomon lishuiensis sp.nov.Baculentulus wenyingae sp.nov.is characterized by the combined characters of the presence of foretarsal se...
Acanthocnemus nigricans is an inconspicuous pyrophilous beetle that approaches forest fires. The beetle is equipped with a pair of unique infrared (IR) receptors on its prothorax that allows it to detect hot surface...
The Melanophila acuminata beetle is attracted to forest fires via a pair of infrared sensory organs composed of sensilla. Our histological work showed that each sensillum contains lipid layers surrounding a protein la...

In this paper,a structural analysis is performed to gain insights on the synergistic mechanical amplification effect thatCampaniform sensilla have when combined in an array configuration.In order to simplify the analy...
We present a bio-inspired strategy for designing embedded strain sensors in space structures. In insects, the campaniform sensillum is a hole extending through the cuticle arranged such that its shape changes in respo...
The morphology and structures of antennal sensilla of Helicoverpa armigera are observed under scanning and transmission electron microscopes. Antennae of Helicoverpa armigera are made up of scapus, pedicel and flagell...
Using the electro-physiological technique, the sensory mechanisms of maxillary sensilla styloconica to stimulants and deterrents were explored on two closely related species, the generalist Helicoverpa armigera and th...
THE DIMBOA (2, 4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1, 4-benzoxazin-3-one), a secondary product present in corn plants, plays an important role in protecting the plant against the pest attack. DIMBOA is rich in seedlings of cereal c...

I.INTRODUCTION The sensilla trichodea has been accepted as the receiver of sex pheromone in Lepidotera moths. In Antheraea polyphemus and A. pemyi, there are at least two types of sensilla trichodea with different len...
