. The Australian zoologist. Zoology; Zoology; Zoology. J. SANDERS and M. DAVIES triangular muscle lying very close and anterior to M. gemellus and sometimes difficult to separate from it. It also may be difficult to separate from M. obturator exiernus. M. obturator externus. Origin: fleshy, from ventro-lateral surface of pelvic rim. Insertion: fleshy on proximal half of ventral surface of femur, medial to insertion of M. pectineus. Muscle thick, slightly triangular shaped with wide origin. Short attachment to M. quadratus femoris. M. pectineus. Origin: fleshy, from anterior pelvic rim, anterior to M. obturator externus, and deeper than M. sartorius. Insertion: fleshy on ventral surface of proximal half of femur. Muscle has wide origin and tends to be flattened in antero-posterior plane. Approximately same length as M. obturator externus. M. iliacus internus. Origin: fleshy, from medial and ventral border of ilium. Insertion: broad fleshy insertion on dorsal, medial and lateral aspects of femur on proximal two-thirds of bone. Large dorso-ventrally flattened muscle of wide origin with insertion covering large area of femur. M. gemellus. Origin: fleshy, from posterior pelvic rim, posterior to M. quadratus femoris. Insertion: fleshy onto dorso-medial aspect of proximal half of femur. Short, triangular shaped muscle overlain by M. quadratus femoris and M. pyriformis, in some Fig. 2.
