proboscis muscle [FBbt_00058786]
Muscle of the proboscis. These muscles can effect movement of the proboscis or pumping of liquid into the pharynx (McKellar et al., 2020). There are 16 subtypes in the mature adult (McKellar et al., 2020). Others are present at eclosion, but subsequently degenerate (Miller, 1950; McKellar et al., 2020).
