Large vibrissal bristle with a relatively anterior position within the vibrissae, directly below the antenna. There are usually 2-4 of these on each side.
Especially in other species, these are sometimes specifically referred to as vibrissae, though melanogaster papers tend to refer to the full line of gena bristles as vibrissae.
