Paired dorsal process of the pharyngeal sclerite. This structure, into which the cibarial muscle inserts, is situated in the narrow lumen of the dorsal pouch. It is connected anteriorly to the dorsal bridge (also known as latticed process) and ventrally to the vertical bridge (also known as vertical plate). (Jurgens et al., 1986)
