	abstract = {<p>Sensilla on the antennae of the adult armoured ground cricket, Eugaster powysi, were studied using scanning electron microscopy to determine the sensilla morphology and their possible chemo- and mechanoreceptive functions for food detection. Twelve types or subtypes occur in males and thirteen in females: aporous sensilla chaetica (62.6 \% of total sensilla in males, 63.5\% in females) with a tactile mechanoreceptive function; uniporous sensilla chaetica of three subtypes (12.5-12.7\%) with a contact chemoreceptive function; multiporous sensilla trichodea (5.6-7.9\%); multiporous sensilla basiconica of three subtypes (13.1-13.9\%); multiporous sensilla coeloconica (0.8-0.9\%), all multiporous sensilla being olfactory receptors; aporous sensilla coeloconica (2.2\%) and aporous sensilla coelocapitula (0.1\% in female) with a possible thermo- hygroreceptive function; aporous B\&ouml;hm sensilla (0.4-0.5\%) and sensilla campaniformia (0.5-0.6\%) which are proprioceptors. These results are related to the behaviour of Eugaster and compared with those obtained in other Orthoptera, Mantodea and Blattodea.</p>
