haltere dorsal ventral muscle [FBbt_00058939]
Relatively large haltere muscle that extends dorsoventrally and attaches to the cuticle near the base of the haltere (Lawrence, 1982; Dickerson et al., 2019). It provides the power for haltere movement, analogous to dorsoventral muscles of the wing (Dickerson et al., 2019; Ehrhardt et al., 2023).

Relatively large haltere muscle that extends dorsoventrally and attaches to the cuticle near the base of the haltere (Lawrence, 1982; Dickerson et al., 2019). It provides the power for haltere movement, analogous to dorsoventral muscles of the wing (Dickerson et al., 2019; Ehrhardt et al., 2023).
Muscle 77 in Lawrence (1982) (following Miller, 1950 nomenclature) is a relatively long muscle described as attaching near the base of the haltere - so probably corresponds to the haltere DVM (hDVM) in Dickerson et al. (2019) and Ehrhardt et al. (2023).
