Large bristle of the adult dorsal head, located posterior and slightly lateral to the ocelli (Eichler et al., 2024). There is one of these on each side (Eichler et al., 2024).
Renamed from 'postvertical' following Eichler et al. (2024) terminology, since this bristle is posterior to the ocelli and not the vertical bristles.
