Its surface is covered with eight longitudinal rows of bristles and with transverse rows of bristles (TR) in the anterior compartment, between proximo-distal rows 7 and 8. There is sexual dimorphism in the number of TRs (transverse row bristles, TR). In males, 2 TRs are replaced by the sex comb and one central bristle.
