The general morphology of the antennae and the antennal sensilla of both sexes of Boarmia (Ascotis) selenaria SchiffermÜller are described. The following types of sensilla were found: Bohm bristles and sensilla chaetica, trichodea, coeloconica, auricillica and styloconica. Antennal sexual dimorphism is marked, but mainly confined to the presence of long sensilla trichodea in males and the absence in females. The sensilla trichodea are the most abundant sensillum type.
