Abstract
Note: This paper is dedicated to the late Professor J. W. S. Pringle who was a pioneer in studies of cicada muscles and a major contributor to our understanding of insect muscle in general. We think he would have enjoyed the new perspective given by the tymbal muscles of Okanagana vanduzeei.Keywords
