Anatomy
Hair structure of the antenna that resembles a sensillum, but lacks sensory neurons (Gonzales et al., 2021). Auxiliary 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).
