An evident sexual dimorphism concerning antennae length, types, number, and distribution of chemosensilla is shown. Long sensilla basiconica are present in females and could play a role in the host location and/or maternal care. Multiporous sensilla chaetica, longer and mostly represented in males, could play a role in intraspecific relationships ...
