empty antennal sensillum [FBbt_00052001]

Hair structure of the antenna that resembles a sensillum, but lacks sensory neurons (Gonzales et al., 2021). Auxillary cells (tormogen, trichogen, thecogen) may or may not still be present (Gonzales et al., 2021). Biological significance of these is unclear, but speculated to be due to neuronal turnover (Gonzales et al., 2021).
