Abstract: The ultrastructures of the sensilla on the antennae, the tarsi and the ovipositor of Spodoptera litura were observed with scanning electron-microscopy. The antennae of both male and female moths were found to contain five kinds of antennal sensilla, namely, sensillum trichodeum, sensillum basiconicum,sensillum chaeticum, ear-shaped sensillum and sensillum coeloconicum. The characters of sensillums basiconicum on the antennae were different between the male and the female. The length was 10-15 μm, the diameter at the base was approximately 4-5 μm for the male antennae, which were significantly longer and bigger than the female antennae, and the male moths had onesmall bradawl at the bass of the antennae while the female moths did not. The tarsi of both male and female moths contained two kinds of sensilla:sensillum trichodeum and sensillum chaeticum; however, their numbers were significant less than those on the antennae. The long sensillun trichodeum and short sensillun trichodeum were mainly distributed on the ovipositor. These results provided basis for exploring the molecular mechanism of oviposition deterrent.
