A. Petryszak et W. Fudalewiczniemczyk, EXTERNAL PROPRIOCEPTORS IN LEGS OF VARIOUS FUNCTIONS OF INSECTS OF LOWER ORDERS, Acta Biologica Cracoviensia. Series Zoologia, 34-5, 1993, pp. 1-11
Occurrence of external proprioceptors: hair plates and campaniform sen
silla (pores) groups was studied in legs of representatives of lower o
rders of insects: Odonata, Blattodea, Mantodea, Isoptera, Cheleutopter
a, and Orthoptera. These organs are always present in base leg segment
s while in distal segments their occurrence vary. The differences in a
rrangement of external proprioceptors reflect both systematic affinity
, and various locomotion patterns of these insects.
