Abstract
SEM [scanning electron microscope] micrographs of unusual setae on the male antennae and of the female pronotum in Harpocera thoracica (Fallen) are presented. The adhesive function and positioning of the male antennae on the female''s pronotum during pairing is discussed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
