The structures of chelicerates that are analogous to the antennae of chilopoda and other mandibulates are PEDIPALPS.
Chelicerates are devoid of antenna whereas antenna are found in chilopoda and other mandibulates. The pedipalps found in the chelicerates functions as antenna. Pedipalps are used for catching prey and as sensors.
