Abstract：Sex pheromone glands of the females and adult antennae of Hypsipyla robusta ( Moore ) were observed by using scanning electronic microscope( SEM) ,to provide basic data for further study of Hyp-sipyla robusta( Moore) about ecology,behavior and electrophysiology. The results showed that seven types of sensilla were found on male and female H. robusta,including sensilla trichodea,sensilla cheatica,sen-silla squamiformia,sensilla coeloconica,sensilla auricillica,sensilla styloconica,and B?hm bristles,among which the sensilla trichodea was the most numerous. The number of sensilla trichodea on the antennae of male was higher than that of female,but other sensilla had not significant differences on the antennae of male and female. The sex pheromone glands of the females were formed at the intersegmental membrane between the 8th and 9th abdominal segments. Many plump cones,which were gland cells,were distributed on the surface of the glands.
