Adult Muscle
Indirect flight muscle that originates broadly over the dorsal episternum and inserts via a thick tendon on the meso-scutum (Dickinson and Tu, 1997. This muscle is innervated by the dorsal and ventral tp motor neurons. (Vigoreaux, 2006, Hartenstein, 2006, Bate, 1993, Miller, 1950, Trimarchi and Schneiderman, 1994, Dickinson and Tu, 1997)
Classified as indirect in Dickinson and Tu, 1997, as these muscles do not connect to a wing sclerite, but they note that the muscles do insert within the hinge region and could affect hinge mechanics.
