Description:

The long antennal flagellum is lined along one side with a double row of curved setae which arch outwards and then curve toward one another like the ribs of a vacuum cleaner hose. Shorter, enervated setae are found in the middle of the circle formed by the long setae. Together, this structure forms a lateral-line like detector of near-field sound or vibrations.
