Hair erection in isolated antennae of Anopheles stephensi males is induced by alpha-adrenergic agonists and blocked by alpha-adrenergic blocking drugs. Hair erection is also induced by a single beta-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol. The activity of isoproterenol in this system is inhibited by alpha-blockers but not by beta-blockers. These results suggest that the adrenergic receptor for hair erection in mosquito antennae differs from a typical vertebrate alpha-adrenergic receptor. © 1978 Birkhäuser-Verlag.
