Table 4 Comparison of supinator and pronator muscles in the coelacanth (Latimeria), Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus) and mudpuppy (Necturus)

From: Comparative pelvic development of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) and the Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri): conservation and innovation across the fish-tetrapod transition

Latimeria chalumnae

Neoceratodus forsteri

Necturus maculosus

Fourth pronator “4 ième pronateur “ (dorsal)

O: posterior edge of the process on the fourth axial element I: Base of the last few preaxial lepidotrichia

Lepidotrichial flexors (Dorsal))

O: Lateral sides of fin elements I: Lepidotrichia

   

Fifth pronator “5ième pronateur” (dorsal)
