Abstract

The head and neck muscles of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.), are reported. Thirty-nine muscles with their origins, insertions, and functions are described. This forms part of a study on the brain and suboesophageal ganglionic mass of the same species.

Résumé

Les muscles de la tête et du cou de la tondeuse de l’épinette, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.) sont rapportés.Trente-neuf muscles avec leurs origines, insertions et fonctions sont décris. Ceux-ci sont comparés avec ceux de Danaus plexippus, Pieris brassicae, Scirpophaga nivella, et Telea polyphemus.Vingt-huit de ces muscles sont dans la tête tandis qu’onze sont dans le cou et servent à faire mouvoir la tête.Ce rapport fait partie d’une étude du cerveau et de la masse ganglionique sousoesophagienne de Choristoneura.
