Abstract
The shape and surface structure of peg-like setae occurring in certain male Staphylinidae and other Coleoptera are described with the aid of a scanning electron microscope. The sites at which these organs are known to occur and the taxa in which they have been found are listed. Their possible function is discussed.Keywords
