Abstract: Results reported here form a part of a project in which oviposition by the potato moth, Phthorimaea operculella (Lepidoptera : Gelechiidae) is being investigated with regard to the role played by some components of the foliage of the potato plant. At least 10 chemosensilla are present on the ovipositor of the female moth, besides about 100 mechanosensilla. Each chemosensillum contains 5 dendrites, only 4 of which run up to the single, structured, terminal pore. It is likely that the chemical nature of the oviposition substrate influences the deposition of eggs.
