M. interscutularis

The interscutularis is a thin band of fibers extending across the dorsal midline and connecting the dorsal surfaces of the auditory canals. It lies deep to the other facial muscles and superficial to M. temporalis . I found this muscle in some specimens of Condylura and Uropsilus , but it is very difficult to see, and I am not sure of its distribution in the other study taxa.
