Ultrastructural and Functional Organization of Maxillary Palps in Ladybird Species (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) With Different Feeding Preferences. [PDF]
Microsc Res TechThis research described the ultrastructural organization of Coccinellidae maxillary palps. The apical sensory area housed the largest number of sensilla. The sensilla belonged to three types: uniporous, multiporous, and campaniform sensilla. Large number of sensilla and sensory neurons provide evidence that maxillary palps act as primary sensory organ ...
