1888 J. Lubbock Senses, Instincts & Intelligence Anim. vi. 117 In the cricket, for instance, the sense of hearing appears to be seated partly in the antennæ, and partly in the anterior legs. In other cases, as in Corethra, the division appears to be carried still further, and a ‘chordotonal’ organ occurs in each of several segments.

1910 Encycl. Brit. II. 85/2 For the appreciation of the sounds made by these stridulators, the ants are furnished with delicate organs of hearing (chordotonal organs).

1948 Sci. News 7 19 On the theory that the elongated parallel elements act as chords (strings) and have a ‘tonus’ or tension like strings, these structures have been given the name ‘chordotonal organs’.
