Adult Anatomy

Papilla located just posterior to the oral opening that bears the opening of the adult salivary duct at its apex.

Ferris, 1950 claims that the hypopharynx does not exist in D.melanogaster, although the salivary stylet is often mistaken for it. It seems likely that the salivary stylet (FBbt:00004547) and the hypopharynx described by Bodenstein, 1950 (FBbt:00003130) are the same structure.
