Chordotonal organ
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Chordotonal organs are stretch receptor organs in insects and other arthropods[1] They are used to detect the position of the body antennae which causes stretching on the cuticle of the Johnston's organ. This stretching is detected by underlying scolopidia.
