dorsal row bristle of the cibarium

ID: FBbt_00004137

One of 6-8 singly innervated bristles of dorsal row of the cibarial fish-trap bristle, dorsal to the ventral cibarial sense organ. They are innervated by mechanosensory neurons. (Stocker and Schorderet, 1981, Nayak and Singh, 1983, Bate and Martinez Arias, 1991, Gendre et al., 2004)

Disambiguation: these bristles are sometimes referred to as the 'dorsal row' (Stocker and Schorderet, 1981; Nayak and Singh, 1983, which may be confused with the 'dorsal row' sensilla of the anterior wing margin (Bate and Martinez Arias, 1991. They are also referred to as the upper (or proximal) fishtrap bristles (Gendre et al., 2004.
