<br/><br/> The antennal sensillae of male and female confused flour beetle T. confusum (Coleopteran: Tenebrionidea) are investigated by electron microscopy. The filiform antennae of confused beetles consist of scape, pedicle and 9 flagellomeres. There are 3 types of sensilla trichodea, one type of sensilla basiconica, two types of sensilla cheatica, pit-organs, sensilla coeloconica and small domes campaniformia. Sensilla chaetica occur only on the antennae of males and sensilla coeloconica, campaniformia  only o the antennae of females. Sexual differences in the types of sensillae are found on the antennae. The possible functions are discussed and three types of sensillae are considered as olfactory, sensilla trichodea 2 and sensilla basiconica.
