Scanning electron micrographs of the basal part of the antenna of adult Rhyzopertha dominica. A The scape (sc) bears a group of s. trichodea (st) and Böhm's sensilla (Bbs), pedicel (pe) and two basal flagellomeres (fl1 and fl2) bears grooved sharp tipped s. trichoid sensilla (st). B The pedicel (pe) with s. trichodea (st) fit into depressed cuticle. C Enlarged part of s. trichodea showing the longitudinally grooved shafts. D Scape (sc) and pedicel (pe), showing one dorsal s. ampullacea (amp) on the scape. E The three basal flagellomeres (f1-f3) of the flagellum carrying s. trichodea (st) and ampullacea (amp). Scale bars: A and B 10 µm; C 2 μm; D 20 μm; E 10 μm
