Dear Haruo,
Please thank Miss Hisako Yamada for these wonderful photos. In these photos the long filaments on the rhinophores look more like flags or the streamers female gymnasts wave around rather than sensory papillae. If they have a function, it is not very clear to me what it is.
best wishes,
Bill Rudman
