part of attached to mesothoracic segment mesothoracic long tendon mesothoracic pretarsal depressor muscle 75 This tendon was initially described by Miller (1950) as the mesothoracic pretarsal depressor muscle 75, 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).
