dorsal longitudinal indirect flight muscle [FBbt_00058883]
dorsal longitudinal indirect flight muscle
ID: FBbt_00058883
Indirect flight muscle that extends anterioposteriorly, along the full length of the thorax (Dickinson and Tu, 1997). There are six of these muscles on each side, each with a single muscle cell (Dickinson and Tu, 1997). They have anterior attachment sites across the anterior and dorsal tergum and posterior attachment sites in the postnotum (Miyan and Ewing 1985). It functions to depress the wings by longitudinal arching of the scutum (Miller, 1950).
DLM1-6 numbered ventral to dorsal (see Ikeda and Koenig (1988) - FBrf0048552), muscles 45a-f numbered dorsal to ventral (see Tanouye and Wyman (1981) - FBrf0074584).
