Description
Summary:Sensilla on the antenna of the ground beetle, Carabus (Isiocarabus) fiduciarius saishutoicus Csiki (Coleoptera: Carabidae), were investigated using scanning electron microscopy. In both sexes, 5 types of sensilla trichodea, 7 types of sensilla basiconica, 1 type of sensilla ampullacea, and 2 types of sensilla campaniformia are distinguished. No sexual differences in the types and distribution of sensilla are found on the antenna, except a ventral, depressed, hairless region of the male. Various types of sensilla present on the mouthparts, head, pronotum, elytron, hindwing, legs, abdominal tergites and sternites, aedeagus, and ovipositor are also described.
