Twelve types or subtypes occur in males and thirteen in females: aporous sensilla chaetica (62.6 % of total sensilla in males, 63.5% in females) with a tactile mechanoreceptive function; uniporous sensilla chaetica of three subtypes (12.5-12.7%) with a contact chemoreceptive function; multiporous sensilla trichodea (5.6-7.9%); multiporous sensilla basiconica of three subtypes (13.1-13.9%); multiporous sensilla coeloconica (0.8-0.9%), all multiporous sensilla being olfactory receptors; aporous sensilla coeloconica (2.2%) and aporous sensilla coelocapitula (0.1% in female) with a possible thermo- hygroreceptive function; aporous B\u00f6hm sensilla (0.4-0.5%) and sensilla campaniformia (0.5-0.6%) which are proprioceptors. These results are related to the behaviour of Eugaster and compared with those obtained in other Orthoptera, Mantodea and Blattodea.","type_name":"Journal Article","journal_abbreviation":null,"pmid":null,"info_url":"https:\/\/bio.acousti.ca\/node\/52581"}]}
