Micrographs showing the location and the fine structure of basiconic sensilla on G. pallidipes palps. A Image of the right palp with basoconic sensilla along the lateral groove delimited between the inside of the box proximally and the white arrow distally. B Magnified proximal zone (box in A) showing numerous basiconic sensilla (arrows) surrounded by microtrichae. C Longitudinal section of a sensillum with a thin porous wall (wp), ramified dendrites (d), two enlarged dendrites (ed) at the base and cuticle (cu). D Cross section at level a in C showing two enlarged dendrites (ed1 and ed2) and the third unbranched dendrite (d3). The scale bar is 500, 10, 1 μm and 500 nm for A, B, C and D, respectively.
