tegumentary nerve [FBbt_00003981]
Adult nerve containing axons from mechanosensory neurons of the head capsule (Ito et al., 2014). Axon fibers innervate the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (AMMC) and may continue into the gnathal ganglion and ventral nerve cord (Ito et al., 2014).

Adult Nervous system Neuron projection bundle
Adult nerve containing axons from mechanosensory neurons of the head capsule (Ito et al., 2014). Axon fibers innervate the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (AMMC) and may continue into the gnathal ganglion and ventral nerve cord (Ito et al., 2014).
This nerve is clearly shown branching from the antennal nerve in Miller (1950), but need more recent references to support this.
