    Notes: Summary Between 8 and 14 °C, a range which includes temperatures of caves inhabited bySpeophyes lucidulus Delar, the cold receptor associated with antennal black-hair sensilla in the larvae of this eyeless beetle (Fam. Catopidae) responds to rates of temperature change between −0.007 and +0.007 °C/s with impulse frequencies usually between 0.3 and 12 imp/s (Figs. 1, 2, 5). At a given temperature frequency tends to be higher during cooling than during warming, with an average differential sensitivity of −6 (imp/s)/(0.01 °C/s), or −600 (imp/s)/(°C/s) (Fig. 3). The response is also effected by instantaneous temperature. At a given rate of temperature change the lower the temperature, the higher the frequency, with an average differential sensitivity of −5.3 (imp/s)/ °C (Fig. 4). Because impulse frequency is a continuously decreasing function of both temperature and its rate of change in the ranges encountered roughly 7 m from entrances to caves where the beetle has been found, cooling there is indicated by high and rising frequencies and warming by low and falling frequencies. A comparison of these results with those suggested forPeriplaneta americana (Loftus 1969) indicates that of the two,Speophyes' cold receptor is 8 times more sensitive to ambient temperature and a least 3 times more sensitive to low rate of temperature change.

    Notes: Summary The antennal cold cells in larval ‘black-hair’ sensilla of the cave beetle,Speophyes lucidulus Delar., clearly respond to rates of temperature change 5 to 10 times lower than any tested on insect cold cells so far: often below 0.0005° C/s or 2° C/h. At a given ambient temperature between 11° C and 15° C, cold-cell impulse frequency was higher when temperature was falling at these rates than when it was rising at them in every one of the twelve cells examined. The mean differential sensitivity to the rate of change was -3340±1071 (imp/s)/(° C/s), in each case two to 5 times greater (sign ignored) than in any cold cell observed previously (Loftus 1969; Corbière-Tichané and Loftus 1983). The differential sensitivity to ambient temperature,-6.8 (imp/s)/° C, was statistically indistinguishable, on the other hand, from the earlier values forSpeophyes. Antennal cold cells of six first-stage larvae of another Catopid beetle,Choleva angustata Fab., displayed very similar responses to the same stimuli. Its mean differential sensitivities were -8.1+3.9 (imp/s)/° C to ambient temperature and-3790+2190 (imp/s)/(° C/s) to the rate of temperature change. UnlikeSpeophyes this beetle spends only part of its life cycle in caves.

    Notes: Abstract We successively examined the two main parts of the labium: the ligula and the palps. The organs located on the ligula have a simple innervation and may represent various types of mechanoreceptors. The palps are crowned by 13 different sensilla which have various receptions (mechanoreception, olfaction, gustation). Several described sensilla hold an unknown function.

    Notes: Abstract The sensorial equipment of the labrum consists of mechanical receptors with simple innervation (sensilla trichodea, sensilla chaetica and sensilla campaniformia) and sensory pores innerved by one or several neurons the functions of which are probably gustatory.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'organe sensoriel apical de l'antenne deMetoponorthus a été étudié en microscopie électronique à balayage et par transmission. Il comporte un corps central à la base duquel sont articulées deux longues soies latérales et qui se termine par une touffe de soies très courtes. Les soies de la touffe terminale sont innervées par 4 à 12 neurones bipolaires. Les dendrites traversent le corps central puis pénètrent dans la lumière des soies sans se ramifier. Ils communiquent avec l'extérieur par un pore terminal assez gros. Parmi les dendrites certains paraissent assurer une fonction mécanoréceptrice. Des structures cuticulaires en forme d'écaille protègent la partie terminale des soies du côté axial. Les deux longues soies latérales sont innervées par 5 neurones bipolaires: 4 dendrites pénètrent dans la lumière de la soie; le 5ème, mécanorécepteur, s'arrête au niveau de l'articulation de la soie sur le corps central. La structure fine de cet organe sensoriel apical correspond à celle des chémo-récepteurs de contact connus chez d'autres Arthropodes. Une comparaîson est faite avec les chémorécepteurs de Crustacés marins et terrestres. Chez les formes terrestres on observe un raccourcissement de la partie libre des soies, ainsi qu'une orientation des pores du côté exposé aux stimuli extérieurs. Chez l'Isopode terrestreMetoponorthus étudié dans ce travail, les très courtes soies terminales dépassent à peine du corps central. Le développement des structures cuticulaires au sommet des soies et la tendance des soies à s'intégrer en un organe unique (corps central de l'organe sensoriel) sont autant de spécialisations pour le renforcement de ces soies et leur protection contre la dessication.
    Notes: Summary The apical sensory organ on the antenna ofMetoponorthus was studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. It consists of a tuft of very short terminal hairs which prolongs a central body and two long lateral hairs which are articulated on the central body of the sensory organ. Hairs from the terminal tuft are innervated by 4 to 12 bipolar neurons. The dendritic cilia proceed through the axial body and then enter the lumen of hairs without branching. Dendrites in each hair communicate with environment through a rather wide terminal opening. It is suggested that some dendrites are mechanoreceptive. Scale-like cuticular structures protect the terminal part of the hairs, on the inner side that is not exposed to outer stimuli. The two long lateral hairs are innervated by 5 bipolar neurons: 4 dendrites enter the hair lumen while one, mechanoreceptive, terminates in the socket membrane. The fine structure of this apical sensory organ corresponds to that of known contact chemoreceptors in other Arthropods. A comparison is made with known chemo-receptors in marine and terrestrial Crustacea. In terrestrial forms it can be observed that the hairs become shorter. On the other hand the hair surfaces which are not exposed to outer stimuli show a thickened cuticule. In the terrestrial IsopodMetoponorthus (studied in the present work) the very short terminal hairs barely project past the central body. The development of the cuticular structures at the tip of the hairs and the tendancy of the hairs to be integrated into a single organ (central body of the sensory organ) represent so many adaptations for protection and reduction of evaporation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les organes chordotonaux présents dans les différentes pièces céphaliques de la larve du Speophyes peuvent être classés en deux catégories. La première catégorie regroupe les récepteurs scolopidiaux de l'antenne, du labium et du palpe maxillaire. On peut les comparer au scolopidium de l'organe tympanique du Criquet décrit par Gray (1960). La deuxième catégorie comprend les récepteurs scolopidiaux de la mandibule et de la lacinia: ils sont du amphinématique. Le sensille scolopidial de la galea représente un type intermédiaire. Nous signalons l'importance des structures de soutien et de fixation, qui doivent permettre une bonne transmission de toutes les déformations et tensions subies par le tégument. Nous discutons du rôle joué par la ≪gap junction≫ qui unit les deux dendrites dans les scolopidium. de la deuxième catégorie. Enfin nous essayons d'établir des hypothèses sur le fonctionnement des scolopidium.
    Notes: Summary The chordotonal organs located in the various head appendages of the Speophyes larva, can be divided into two classes. The scolopidial receptors of the antenna, the labium and the palpus maxillae belong to the first class. They can be compared to the scolopidium of the locust tympanic organ described by Gray.—The second class contains the scolopidial receptors of the mandible and the lacinia: their type is amphinematic. The scolopidial sensilla of the galea represents an intermediate type. We demonstrate many supporting and fixation structures which probably allow a good transmission of all the deformations and strains affecting the tegument. The function of the gap junction which connects the two dendrites in the scolopidia of the second class is discussed. Finally we try to formulate hypothesis of the functioning of scolopidia.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nos recherches au microscope électronique portent sur une structure nerveuse en lamelles découverte pour la première fois dans l'antenne duSpeophyes, qu'on étudie comparativement chez les Coléoptères hypogés et épigés. Nous constatons qu'elle existe à l'extrémité de l'antenne chez toutes les espèces cavernicoles de l'échantillon examiné ainsi que chez plusieurs espèces épigées. Nous n'avons pas rencontré cet organe à l'extrémité de l'antenne de trois espèces épigées; nous ne pouvons cependant pas affirmer qu'il n'existe pas, les articles inférieurs de l'antenne n'ayant pas été examinés. Son plus grand développement chez les espèces cavernicoles laisse supposer une fonction plus spécifiquement adaptée à ce milieu. La structure fine de ces lamelles présentant une étroite similitude avec celle des photorécepteurs, nous avons émis l'hypothèse d'une sensibilité à des rayonnements présents dans la grotte, par exemple au rayonnement infrarouge. Il faut souligner que la nature ciliaire de ces structures est en désaccord avec l'appartenance de l'Insecte à la lignée rhabdomérique.
    Notes: Summary The lamellated nervous system discovered in the antennae of the beetleSpeophyes, has been comparatively investigated in various hypogeous and epigeous species. It was found in almost all of the species studied in the tip of the antennae. It was, however, not detected in a few of the epigeous forms. Its extensive development in the cave develling species suggests a specific function in this particular environment. The fine structure of the lamellae is closely comparable to that of photosensory cells. Therefore it is assumed that they serve a similar function, i. e. the perception of infrared radiation in the caves. Its ciliary nature does not correspond to the rhabdomeric structure of insect eyes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'organisation sensorielle de la mandibule de la larve duSpeophyes lucidulus est étudiée au microscope électronique. L'équipement sensoriel est remarquablement homogène puisqu'il ne comprend que des mécanorécepteurs: — récepteurs tactiles, comme les sensilles trichoïdes du bord externe de la mandibule, — propriocepteurs, comme les sensilles campaniformes d'une part et les récepteurs scolopidiaux d'autre part, qui sont les plus abondants. Ceux-ci se terminent dans les zones de la mandibule qui sont le plus fortement soumises à des tensions et des déformations lors des mouvements mandibulaires. Ces récepteurs présentent en outre certaines caractéristiques morphologiques originales que nous décrivons.
    Notes: Summary The sensorial organization of the mandible of theSpeophyes lucidulus larva is studied by means of electron microscopy. This sensorial apparatus is remarkably homogeneous, i.e. it includes only mechanoreceptors: — tactile receptors such as trichoide sensillae in the external edge of the mandible, — proprioceptors such as campaniform sensillae and scolopidia which are the more numerous. The latter, end in the zone of the mandible which are widely concerned with strains and deformations during mandibular movements. Furthermore, these receptors present certain original morphological features which are described below.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary An ELISA method was developed to detectC. sepedonicum: three immunsera were needed, at least two from different animals. A relationship between bacterial suspension concentrations and optical density as determined by ELISA was established (Fig 1). The lower limit for detection was 105 bacteria/ml which was similar to that obtained using IF. The relationship between ELISA and IF values determined simultaneously on different concentrations of the bacteria is given in Table 1. The specificity of ELISA and IF was tested on different bacteria pathogenic to Solanaceae species (Table 2). The optical densities obtained with healthy tuber extracts were 0; analyses of infected tubers showed not only the presence of whole bacterial cells but also of soluble antigens in the extracts (Table 3). When 1000 daughter tubers obtained from plants grown from inoculated seed tubers were examined, similar results were obtained using ELISA or IF in c. 90% of the tests (Table 4). The ELISA method was used subsequently to determine over two years the reaction of 15 potato cultivars initially inoculated withC. sepedonicum and planted in the soil. The cultivars could be divided on the basis of the percentage of contaminated daughter tubers into 11 susceptible to the pathogen, 2 slightly susceptible and 2 tolerant (Table 5).
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Der entwickelte ELISA-Test zur Bestimmung vonC. sepedonicum erfordert drei Immunoserums, wovon mindestens zwei von verschiedener Tierarten stammen. Es wird eine Relation zwischen der Konzentration der Suspensionen und ihrer optischen Dichte aufgestellt (Abb. 1). Die Bestimmungsgrenze befindet sich bei 105 Bakterien/ml: diese ist identissch mit der Immunofluoreszenz-Methode (IF). Suspensionen von bekannten Konzentrationen welche simultan mit ELISA und IF bestimmt werden, ergeben die in der Tabble 1 aufgeführten Resultate. Die Spezifizität der ELISA und IF-Methoden wird bestimmt durch die Prüfung von verschiedenen pathogenen Bakterienarten auf Solanaceen (s. Tabelle 2). Tabelle 3 zeigt, dass die gesunden Knollen optische Dichten von null ergeben; die Analyse von befallenen Knollen ergibt nicht nur ganze Bakterien, aber auch aus den Extrakten auflösbare Antigenen, Einen auf 1000 Tochterknollen durchgeführten Test, von künstlich befallenen Mutterknollen stammend, gibt annähernd 90 Prozent Übereinstimmung der ELISA und IF-Ergebnisse (s. Tabelle 4). Dieser ELISa-Test wird danach benützt um das Verhalten von 15 Kartoffelsorten zu testen, welche mitC. sepedonicum inokuliert und in Erde ausgepflanzt wurden. Der Versuch wurde auf zwei Jahre bezogen. Eine Klassierung nach prozentualem Befallsgrad der Tochterknollen wird aufgestellt: elf Sorten werden als anfällig, zwei wenig anfällig und zwei tolerant gegenüber dem Pathogen beurteilt (s. Tabelle 5).
    Notes: Résumé Une adaptation d'une méthode ELISA à la détection deCorynebacterium sepedonicum est présentée. Trois immunsérums (dont au moins deux d'origines animales différentes) sont nécessaires. Les sensibilité, spécificité, reproductibilité de la méthode sont discutées et comparées à l'immunofluorescence, en analysant des souches pures et des extraits de tubercules. La méthode décrite est utilisée pour suivre la contamination de la descendance de 15 variétés sur deux générations de tubercules. Une classification des ces variétés, en fonction de leur aptitude à transmettre l'agent pathogène à leur descendance, est proposée.
