Flexes the hindwing in the same way that M. episterno-aJaris of the mesothorax flexes the forewing. Similar muscles: Flexor of hind wing (Malouf, 1933) ; axillary muscle of metathorax (Eawat, 1939) ; first flexor of hind- wings (Akbar, 1957); 3ax-eps;! (Lauek, 1959).. Figure 28. Medial view of the left halves of the nictathoiax and of tlic posterior mesothorax (same view as Fig. 12), showing the more medial nietathoracic and abdominal muscles.

Medial view of the left halves of the nictathoiax and of tlic posterior mesothorax (same view as Fig. 12), showing the more medial nietathoracic and abdominal muscles. The ventral process of the second phragma has been cut off. Figure 29. Same view as above. Muscles 60, 03, 70, and 80 have been removed. NOTO-TROCHANTINALIS (Fig. 28) A well-developed, fan-shaped muscle. Origin: Anterior part of the metanotum, just lateral to the mid- line. Insertion: Tendon 63, at the medial end of the nietathoracic tro- chantin. Action: Rotates the coxa and promotes the leg. Similar muscles: Tergal promoter of coxa (Malouf, 1933); tergal promoter of metathorax (Rawat, 1939) ; first promoter of coxa (?) (Akbar, 1957); sc-i-cxa (Lauek, 1959)..
