Origin: Walls of the ventral half of the femur. Insertion: Tendon 26, from the ventral region of the proximn margin of the tibia. Action: Depresses the tibia, closing it upon the femur. Similar muscles: Depressor of tibia (Malouf, 1933; Rawat, 1939: Akbar, 1957).. Figure 31. Medial view of the left prothoraeic leg, with the medial walls of the leg removed (same view as Fig. 17), showing the intrinsic leg muscles. 27. M.

LEVATOR TIBIAE Less well-developed than J/, depressor tibiae. Origin: Walls of the most dorsal part of the femur. Insertion: Tendon 27, from the dorsal region of the proxhnal margin of the tibia. Act ion: Raises the tibia. Similar muscles: Levator of tibia (Malouf, 1933; RaAvat, 1957); extensor of tibia (Akbar, 1957). 28. M. DEPRESSOR TARSI Composed of many short, fine muscle strands. Origin: Ventrolateral walls of the tibia. Insertion: Tendon 28, from the ventral region of tlie proximal margin of the tarsus. Action: Depresses the tarsus. Similar muscles: Depressor of tarsus (Malouf, 1933; Rawat, 1939; Akbar, 1957)..
