Identification
Long, cone-like, unbranched projection ("spine") on an arthropod's body, bearing several setae.

Differs from a scolus in being unbranched and bearing setae along its length, not only at the tip.

Differs from a parascolus in conical shape and in bearing setae rather than chalazae. Typically senti are also proportionally longer than parascoli.
