Rigid tendon structure of the femur that is attached to the lateral root of the arculum and branches to attach to the cap cells of the two smaller femoral chordotonal organs (Mamiya et al., 2023. (Mamiya et al., 2023)

Thought to be a cuticular specialization based on described stiffness and autofluorescence, but not clear from Mamiya et al. (2022).
