Abstract

In whip scorpion, the multisegmented whiplike flagellum and the antenniform legs are the modified telson and the first pair of legs respectively. These two appendages bear numerous sensory hairs. Each segment of the flagellum also bears at its base an oval membranous region called ‘Fenestra Ovalis’. The neural organisation of these two sensory appendages was examined with light and electron microscope and compared with the sensory appendages of other arthropods.
