What structures of chelicerates are analogous to the antennae of chilopods and other mandibulates?

In chelicerates, the chelicerae (mouthpart) are analogous to the antennae of chilopods and other mandibulates. Chelicerae are a pair of appendages located near the mouth used for feeding and defense. They are sensory and help in manipulating food, similar to how antennae function in other arthropods.

What makes a tarantula an arthropod?

Tarantulas and other spiders are classified as arthropods by virtue of their physical characteristics. In taxonomic classification arthropods branch into two major subcategories, the chelicerates which include arachnids, and the mandibulates which includes the myriapods, crustaceans and insects. These all share the broad definition of arthropoda which is characterized by joint appendages and possession of an exoskeleton.
