X. 69 Its distal portion penetrates the center of the enveloping cell into the proximal end of the cap cell, where the nerve enlarges to form the peg-shaped body or scolopale. 1925[see scolopophore]. 1932Parasitology XXIV. 457 These cells are connected with the main antennal nerve, whereas the other end gives off a long scolopala, or the sense rod. 1948Sci. News VII. 19 One finds in all insects structures which consist of parallel elements—elongated spindle-shaped sensory cells whose axes are prolonged into nerve fibres on the central side while on the other side they are in contact with the so-called ‘scolopales’ (pointed stakes). 1964[see scolopophore]. 1969R. F. Chapman Insects xxx. 630 The most fully studied contact chemoreceptors are the trichoid sensilla on the legs and mouth⁓parts of Phormia. They are from 30 to 300 µ long. From the tip the scolopale is invaginated. 1978H. V. Daly et al. Introd.
