SEM micrographs of Phlebotomus papatasi flagellomeres. A Flagellomere I of female showing, squamiform sensilla (sq); basiconic (b); short blunt-tipped trichoid (sb); and common grooved coeloconic sensilla (gc). B Higher magnification of female flagellomere I showing, squamiform (sq); short blunt-tipped (sb) sensilla, besides microtrichia (m). C Flagellomere XI of female showing, long blunt-tipped tipped trichoid (bt); common grooved coeloconic (gc); chaetic (ch) sensillum. D Last three flagellomeres of females showing, long blunt-tipped trichoid (bt); medium pointed-tipped trichoid (mpt); chaetic (ch) sensillum; and last antennal flagellomere XIV showing, apical trichoid (ap) sensillum. E The apex of the last flagellomere in higher magnification in the female showing, the apical trichoid sensillum. F Last two flagellomeres in male showing, apical trichoid (ap) sensillum; common grooved coeloconic sensilla (gc); chaetic (ch) sensillum; and medium pointed-tipped trichoid (mpt) sensilla
