Abstract
The tympanic organs of three species of pyralid moths were investigated. All were found to be similar in structure with a two-part tympanic membrane, the tympanic membrane proper and the countertympanic membrane. Investigation with the scanning electron microscope revealed considerable differences between these two membranes; these differences may help to explain sound reception in pyralid moths.
