labellar taste peg [FBbt_00004163]

Gustatory peg between the cuticular folds of pseudotrachea of the adult labellum. They measure around 4um in length with a distal shaft of about 2.5um arising from a base that is 1-1.5um high. They are innervated by one chemosensory neuron and one mechanosensory neuron.
