S. coeloconica

Two main types of s. coeloconica (0 to 6 per antennal segment) occurred on mole cricket antennae. Type I s. coeloconica were located in the cuticular pits ( Fig. 8 A ). An external diameter of bulging cuticle surrounded its round opening. Type II s. coeloconica were located on the cuticle surface ( Fig. 8 B ). These sensilla varied in size, but as with s.

basioconica and s. trichodea , were almost always located on the apical part of each segment.
