SEM micrographs of the antennae of female and male Phlebotomus papatasi. A Lateral view of the female first two segments and first flagellomere showing, scape (S) and pedicel (P); with short-tipped trichoid (st); arranged in a set of three on the scape and a set of two on the pedicel; long blunt-tipped trichoid (bt) sensilla; next to some ommatidia (om); and squamiform (sq) sensillum on the first flagellomere (flg I); and microtrichiae (m) covering the surface of these antennal segments. B Three short sharp-tipped trichoid (st) sensilla observed in higher magnification on scape (encircled area) in female. C Male antenna showing, pedicel (P) with set of three short sharp-tipped trichoid (st); two short sharp-tipped trichoid (encircled area); a fallen sensillum insertion site (fs). D Higher magnification of short sharp-tipped trichoid (st) observed in a set of two and three on pedicel of male (encircled) area. E Campaniform (c) sensillum; surrounded by microtrichiae (m) on the pedicel of female. F Higher magnification of campaniform (c) sensillum; long blunt-tipped sensillum (bt); microtrichia (m) on the pedicel of female
