Abstract
The body cuticle of the cephalocarid crustacean Hutchinsoniella macrac antha Sanders, 1955, carries two types of small setae which differ in their external shape and number of ciliated sensory cells. It also has two types of pores, one being a gland opening, the other containing t he tip of a cilium. The setae and the pore type containing a ciliated sensory cell are considered chemosensory organs.
