The physiol., morphol. and distribution of pheromone receptors on the antennae of both sexes of Spodoptera littoralis Boisd. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were investigated by electroantennogram screening, single sensillum recordings and SEM. The electroantennogram recordings showed maximal responses to (Z,E)-9,11-tetradecadienyl acetate in males and to (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate in females. In subsequent single sensillum recordings, receptor cells specific for the two known pheromone components, (Z,E)-9,11-tetradecadienyl acetate and (Z,E)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate, as well as for the behavioral antagonist (Z)-9-tetradecenol, were found in both sexes. The sensitivity of the pheromone receptors to their resp. stimuli was the same in the sexes, while the number of pheromone-specific sensilla was much lower in the female. In the male, two physiol. distinct sensillum types were differently distributed over the antennal surface. The most numerous type, containing only one receptor neuron specific for (Z,E)-9,11-tetradecadienyl acetate, was evenly distributed over the ventral antennal surface, while a sensillum type containing one neuron responding to (Z,E)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate and one neuron specific for (Z)-9-tetradecenol was only found among more laterally situated sensilla. This distribution was not observed in the female.
