The antennal lobes (ant. lob) are flanked by the mechanosensory strand of the antennal nerve which supplies the mechanosensory neuropil of the lateral deutocerebrum (mech. sens. l. deut) which is lateral and slightly caudal to the antennal lobes. Flanking this, in turn, are the lateral deutocerebral neuropils receiving ascending fibres from the ventral nerve cord (deut. asc. neu).

The dorsal lobes of the mandibular ganglion (d. lob. man) lie immediately behind the antennal lobes. Caudally, the ventral nerve cord is represented by its most ventral fibres belonging to ascending interneurons (ascending tracts of the ventral nerve cord; asc. t. vnc) that spread into suboesophageal neuropils and also send diffuse projections laterally to protocerebral neuropils.
