transverse vertex muscle [FBbt_00003288]

Temporary muscle that lies underneath the adult head ocellar triangle (vertex) and extends transversely between the compound eyes. The contraction of this muscle layer diminishes the volume of the head. As with other temporary eclosion muscles, it soon degenerates and is not found in older flies.
