Abstract

The central projections of trichoid hairs and of some scolopidial organs of the mesothoracic leg of the locust Schistocerca gregaria were studied by using nickel chloride backfilling and single cell recording. Trichoid hair sensilla on different parts of the legs project somatotopically in the ventral part of the ipsilateral neuropile of the mesothoracic ganglion. Generally, distally located receptors have their terminal arborizations in ventro-lateral areas of the neuropile, and proximally located receptors in ventro-medial areas. The axons of the subgenual organ and tarsal chordotonal organs project into the intermediate neuropile.
