| JMOR_10841_sm_suppinfoappendixfig1.tif | 2886K | Fig. I: Aleochara haematoptera. Virtual sections through the head as obtained by Synchrotron X-ray micro-tomography (SR-μCT). A – F transverse planes, sequence from anterior (A) toward posterior region of the head (F), G mediosagittal plane, H horizontal plane. The different colors assign the muscles to the various functional groups, i.e. pink: epipharyngeal, purple: labral, yellow: antennal, red: pharyngeal, orange: labial, light green: mandibular, dark green: hypopharyngeal, blue: maxillary. Abbreviations: 1, Musculus tentorioscapalis anterior; 2, M. tentorioscapalis posterior; 4, M. tentorioscapalis medialis; 7, M. labroepipharyngalis; 9, M. frontoepipharyngalis; 11, M. craniomandibularis internus; 12, M. craniomandibularis externus; 15, M. craniocardinalis externus; 17, M. tentoriocardinalis; 18, M. tentoriostipitalis; 19, M. craniolacinialis; 28, M. submentopraementalis; 29, M. tentoriopraementalis inferior; 30, M. tentoriopraementalis superior; 34, M. praementopalpalis externus; 41, M. frontohypophyaryngalis; 43, M. clypeopalatalis; 44, M. clypeobuccalis; 46a/ b, parts of M. frontobuccalis posterior; 50, M. tentoriobuccalis posterior; U1, muscle of unknown homology; T 12, Tendon of M. craniomandibularis externus. | |
