There are 8 of these per cluster - each projecting though the paired eighth abdominal nerve to the posterior end of the larva (Helfrich-Forster, 1997). They are glutamatergic motor neurons that arborize over the posterior end of the hindgut, with refined branches and abundant bouton structures (Zhang et al., 2014).
