Abstract
The antennae of two species of thrips, Bagnalliella yuccae (Hinds) and Frankliniella tritici (Fitch), have been examined with the light and electron microscopes. The antennal flagellum of both species is provided with tactile hairs, thickβwalled chemoreceptors and thinβwalled chemoreceptors. In addition, B. yuccae, but not F. tritici, has a single coeloconic chemoreceptor on the dorsal surface of the pedicel. Observations were made on the fluids in the lumen of the antennae of E. yuccae in the living insect. The movement of the fluids probably has an important physiological significance.

## Abstract Tactile hairs, small chemoreceptor pegs, thickβwalled chemoreceptors, thinβwalled chemoreceptors of several types, coeloconic sense organs and campaniform sense organs are present on the flagellum of a stonefly, __Allocapnia recta__ (Claassen).
About 10,000 sense organs are present on one antenna of a female mantis, Tenodera angustipennis, and nearly 40,000 on that of a male. These aIe of four kinds: ( 1 ) thick-walled pegs, (2) short thin-walled pegs, ( 3 ) medium length thin-walled pegs and ( 4 ) long thin-walled pegs. All have the struc
Two kinds of tactile hairs, plain and wavy, thick-walled chemoreceptors and two types of thin-walled chemoreceptors are present on the antennal flagellum of Gromphadorhina portentosa males. These are described and their location on the antenna noted. Females of this species have plain tactile hairs
