Bristle of the ventral posterior head, ventrolateral to the neck and medial to the ventral postorbital bristles (Eichler et al., 2024). There are approximately 15 of these on each side (Eichler et al., 2024).
Based on position and numbers, this group in Eichler et al. (2024) appears to include the postgenal bristles, postgenal trichoid sensilla and the proximal rostral trichoid sensilla from Haynie and Bryant (1986).
