Abstract. Afferents of Tömösváry’s organ innervate multiple synaptic sites within the ipsilateral protocerebrum, i.e. neuropil areas proximal to the 2nd optic neuropil, in the dorsolateral protocerebrum, and surrounding the pedunculus of the ”mushroom bodies”. Sensory input via Tömösváry’s organ in Lithobius appears to follow a peculiar neuronal pathway bypassing the deutocerebrum and tritocerebrum which are innervated by many head sensilla in arthropods.
