Fig. 4. The density of each of the three hair types on the principal veins of the
dorsal surface of the forewings in male and female locusts. (A) Basiconic
sensilla occurred on all of the veins but were most numerous on the subcosta.
(B) Medium length hairs occurred primarily on the subcosta. (C) Long hairs
were restricted to the postcubitus and wing tip. Values are means ±
S.D., N=5 animals. There were no differences in
the densities of basiconic sensilla on male and female forewings (A), but
females had significantly more medium hairs on the subcosta than did males
(B), and more long hairs on the postcubitus than did males (C). Filled
squares, males; open squares, females.
