| Abstract: | Electrophysiological laboratory tests of responses to salt and sucrose by adult females of Chrysops fuliginosus Wied. from Massachusetts showed that contact chemoreceptors were located on their labella, tarsi and antennae. Each of these chemosensilla had more than 1 chemosensory unit (a least 4 in the labellar and tarsal sensilla and 3 in the antennal ones). Both salt and sucrose solutions proved to be active stimulants. |
