Abstract
The distribution of two types of proprioceptors: hair plates and group s of pores on mesothoracic legs was studied in representatives of poor ly-flying insects: Ephemera vulgata L. (Ephemoroptera), Nemura cinerea (Retzius) (Plecoptera), Raphidia ophiopsis L. (Raphidioptera), Microm us variegatus F. (Planipennia) and Panorpa communis L. (Mecoptera). Th e number and distribution of proprioceptors on the legs were compared between good and poor fliers, and the homology of trochanteral hair pl ates was identified.
