    An initial comparative study on the antennal morphology of Zoraptera (Insecta) with special reference to the sensilla

    Gross morphology of antennae in Zoraptera

    The length of the antennae of the three examined species varied from 1.3 to 1.7 mm (Table S2). For all the species, the antennae were shorter than the body (Fig. 1A), and those of the males were shorter…
