Descending neuron belonging to the DNp group, having a cell body on the posterior surface of the brain. This neuron does not cross the midline and descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective. It has neurites in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior posterior slope, gnathal ganglion and haltere neuropil. It fasciculates with the intermediate tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle in the ventral nerve cord. There is a cluster of up to four of these cells in each hemisphere.
