Abstract
A pair of muscle receptor organs is present in each of the abdominal segments from the first to the tenth in the Acrididae. They are associated with the dorsal longitudinal muscles and each consists of a single, heavily encapsulated sensory neurone with numerous dendrites which end on a long, slender muscle-fibre which has its origin near the anterior end of the segment and is inserted on the anterior border of the segment next posterior to it.Keywords
