Abstract
⺠Olfaction in Paleoptera (Odonata/Ephemeroptera) is still an open question. ⺠Libellula depressa bears presumed olfactory sensilla on its antennae. ⺠We performed an electrophysiological investigation (EAG, SCR) on these antennae. ⺠Depolarizing EAG and SCR responses to chemicals were recorded in males and females. ⺠This is the first clear identification of olfactory receptor neurons in Odonata.
