fronto-tentorial muscle 19a [FBbt_00058810]

A temporary eclosion muscle that connects the tentorium to the frons. It arises from the same tendons of the tentorium and occipital sclerites though more centrally than the geno-tentorial muscles 19b. They are inserted in large dorsoventral groups on the lateral margins of the fronto-clypeus. Contraction of these muscles causes the head volume to decrease. As with other temporary eclosion muscles, it degenerates 72h after adult emergence.
