Antennal and palpal sensilla of three predatory Lispe species (Diptera: Muscidae): an ultrastructural investigation
Abstract Antennae and maxillary palps are the most important chemical reception organs of flies. So far, the morphology of antennae and maxillary palps of flies of most feeding habits have been well described, except for that of relatively rare aquatic predatory species. This study describes sensill...
