Pulsatile organ of the wing. There are 5 of these, all located in or near the wing hinge. They all beat independently of the main heartbeat and asynchronously with each other except for 3 and 4 which pulsate synchronously.
Obsoleted - there is only one (bilateral) pair of pulsatile organs per organism that circulate hemolymph to the wings (Lehmacher et al., 2009 - FBrf0206946), making this equivalent to FBbt:00003174 "scutellar pulsatile organ".
