Morphological studies of the proboscis can provide valuable insights into evolutionary adaptations Lepidoptera. However, such research is relatively limited for Pieridae, a family that significant both ecologically and economically. In this study, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to investigate associated sensilla adult C. erate, with an emphasis on ultrastructural details potential sex-specific differences. The in sexes exhibits similar structure, consisting two elongated maxillary galeae connected by dorsal ventral legulae. It divided three distinct zones based morphological changes outer surface characterized spike-like microbumps transverse ridges, while inner (food canal) smooth throughout all zones, regularly spaced grooves. Three types comprising five subtypes were identified: chaetica (sc), basiconica (sb1, sb2, sb3), styloconica (ss). functional implications these features are also discussed briefly.
