Two other phenomena related to the sensory physiology of ticks are considered:
i.e. the function of leg sense hairs located on other leg segments than the foreleg
tarsi, and our discovery of intracuticular sensilla located ubiquitously on tick legs

These sensory hairs are mono- or multimodal olfactory sensilla; additional
possible modalities include thermo- and hygrosensitivity. wp-dw Sensilla (Fig.
16.2) have a double setal wall with the receptor lymph cavities separated in the
shaft.

In the metastriates we observe a decrease in the number of sensory hairs in B.
microplus and D. marginatus as compared to the Amblyomma species. This
seems to be related to the size of the segments. The smaller the tarsus of a
