Abstract
Male Anopheles mosquitoes erect their antennal hairs prior to mating. The erectile mechanism resides in a unique annulus at the base of each hair whorl. It appears that the insect regulates the degree of hydration of this annulus. When the annulus is made to swell the attached hairs are pushed to their erect position.
摘要
雄性按蚊在交配前会竖起触角上的刚毛。勃起机制位于每个毛轮基部的一个独特环带中。昆虫似乎调节这个环带的水合程度。当环带膨胀时，附着的刚毛会被推到直立位置。
