Gr. σκολοπ-, σκόλοψ spike + -phore.] The sheath enclosing the terminal rod of certain cells in insects; also, the sensory end-organ of which this sheath is part, comprising in addition the enclosed rod and neurone.
1888Rolleston & Jackson Anim. Life 503. 1917 Ann. Entomol. Soc. Amer. X. 66 Schwabe (1906)..first showed that the nerve end-organ or scolopophore is composed of three cells with definite boundaries. 1925A. D. Imms Gen. Textbk. Entomol. i. 82 An auditory or chordotonal sensilla consists of a nerve end-organ or scolophore, enclosing a hollow peg-like structure or scolopale. 1933Jrnl. Cellular & Compar. Physiol. IV. 80 The scolophores are either directly connected with the tympanum or lie on a secondary membrane so situated as to move with it. They contain a chitinous rod or scolopale, one end of which projects from the cell body into one or more supporting cells which abut against the body wall. 1964R. M. & J. W. Fox Introd. Compar. Entomol. vi. 193 The unit of the chordotonal organ is the scolopophore.., composed of an apical cap cell attached to the body wall and an envelope cell; in the central part of the cap cell is a terminal ligament which forms a functional extension of the sensory rod (scolops or scolopale) in the envelope cell. 1967C. P. Hickman Biol. Invertebrates xxv. 459/1 Many Orthoptera..have sound receptors, which are spindle-shaped bundles of chordotonal sensilla attached to the integument and called scolophores. |
