Sensory Structures on the Antenniform Legs of Whip Spider, Phrynichus phipsoni (Arachnida, Amblypygi), from the Indian State of Goa: Scanning Electron Microscopic Elucidation: Sensory assembly on the whip of Phrynichus phipsoni
Amblypygi have a tropical and sub-tropical distribution and their first of the four pairs of legs, is modified as feelers. Their activity period and dark habitats render visual cues ineffective and they rely on non-visual sensory perception. There is agreement among researchers that the whip spiders...

| description |
Amblypygi have a tropical and sub-tropical distribution and their first of the four pairs of legs, is modified as feelers. Their activity period and dark habitats render visual cues ineffective and they rely on non-visual sensory perception. There is agreement among researchers that the whip spiders invest in olfactory and tactile senses imparted by sensory structures concentrated on the tarsal segment of the first pair of long, well-articulated non-ambulatory legs that are constantly moved in all directions to sample the environment for detecting location of prey, as also for navigating. This is the first attempt to elucidate the sensory structures present on the antenniform legs of the whip spider, Phrynichus phipsoni (Pocock, 1894), collected from the state of Goa, India; using scanning electron micro[1]scope, and paves way for further research on sensory biology of this cryptic arachnid order. The examined specimen generally conforms to the diversity and morphology of sensory assemblage on the antenniform legs reported in other amblypygi species.
