al expression patterns in pupal antennae of lepidopteran species with different antennal morphologies. Pupal (a, b, d, e, g, h, j-m) and adult (c, f, i, n) antennae of P. xuthus (a-c), female A. convolvuli (d-f), male A. convolvuli (g-i), and M. brassicae (j-n). (a, d, g, j) are surface views and (b, c, e, f, h, i, k, m, n) are cross-sections. (l) is a sagittal section. Pupal antennae are stained by the anti-Al antibody. Thick lines in (b, e, h, k, m) indicate the olfactory epithelium and Al-positive regions are represented by magenta color. Arrowheads in (f, h, i, k, m, n) and arrows in (g, l) indicate the ventral midline and the Al expression, respectively. Scale bars represent 100 μm
