Abstract:		"The scent apparatus of male Eldana saccharina is a glandular complex on the costal area of the forewing. It consists of two parts; glandular complex 1 is composed of five kinds of cells (epidermal cells, scale cells, glandular cells, supporting cells, duct cells); glandular complex 2 also shows five types of cells (epidermal cells, scale cells, glandular cells, duct cells, trichogen cells). The secretory products of the two parts are discharged into separate ducts which converge before opening onto the lower side of the wing. The male also has two prominent hair-pencils borne on the coremata and large secretory trichogen cells on the genital valves. Each of these exocrine gland components plays an important part in formation of the chemically complex pheromones utilized in the precopulatory behavior of the male"
