pretarsal depressor muscle [FBbt_00003324]
Muscle attached via a long tendon to the unguitractor plate of the pretarsus. There are two subtypes of such cells, one located in the femur and one in the tibia. They all attach to the same tendon that originates in the proximal femur and extends to the pretarsus (Chapman, 1998; Soler et al., 2004). This muscle was originally described as located in the proximal tarsal segments (where it was numbered 44, 75, and 96 in the prothoracic, mesothoracic, and metathoracic leg respectively) with a tendon extending to the pretarsus. It was later found that there is no muscle fibers in any of the tarsal segments and that the tendon originates much more proximally in the femur, with muscle fibers located in both the femur and the tibia (Chapman, 1998; Soler et al., 2004).
