Scanning Electron Microscope Study of Antennae and Mouthparts in the Pollen-Beetle Meligethes (Odonthogethes) chinensis (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae: Meligethinae)
Meligethes (Odonthogethes) chinensis is a common Chinese phytophagous species in the family Nitidulidae.Its main larval host plant is Rubus idaeus L.(Rosaceae), and adults feed on pollen and other floral parts.In this study, we used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to observe and study the fine morphology of sensilla on the antennae and mouthpart
