Long tendon cell located in the metathoracic leg (Chapman, 1998; Soler et al., 2004).
This tendon was initially described by Miller (1950) as the metathoracic pretarsal depressor muscle 96, originating in the metatarsus and extending to the pretarsus. It was later found that there are no muscles in the tarsal segments and that what Miller described was actually a tendon originating more proximally in the leg (Chapman, 1998; Soler et al., 2004).
