Etymology: < epi- prefix + cranial adj. In sense 1 after scientific Latin epicranius, adjective (see epicranium n.); compare epicranium n. 2. In sense 2 after epicranium n. 3.

1. Anatomy. Overlying the skull; spec. designating the tendon and muscle forming the epicranium (epicranium n. 2). Also: of or relating to the epicranium.

1820 B. Travers Synopsis Dis. Eye i. 31 The fibres of the occipito-frontalis, or epicranial muscle, terminate beneath the skin of the supercilium.

1822 London Med. Repository 17 276 On removal of the epicranial integuments and occipito-frontal muscle, the pericranium and bones shining through it had a reddish-blue colour.

1856 R. B. Todd & W. Bowman Physiol. Anat. II. 67 Three muscles..arising from the epicranial aponeurosis.

1907 A. M. Buchanan Man. Anat. II. 995 This [sc. the pericranium] is the periosteum of the cranium, and it is loosely connected by areolar tissue to the superjacent epicranial aponeurosis.

1977 Burns 3 133/1 Necrosis seems largely ischemic in origin, through heat destruction of the epicranial blood supply.

2014 M. J. Fehrenbach Dental Anat. Coloring Bk. (ed. 2) v. 286 The epicranial muscle, or epicranius, is a muscle of facial expression.

2. Entomology. Of or relating to the epicranium of an insect's head (see epicranium n. 3).

1932 Jrnl. N.Y. Entomol. Soc. 32 199 Epicranial ridge..curved, extending from posterior end of epicranial suture.

1977 O. W. Richards & R. G. Davies Imms's Gen. Textbk. Entomol. (ed. 10) I. iv. 28 The epicranium..may be divided longitudinally into two epicranial plates.

2001 J. D. Holloway et al. Families Malesian Moths & Butterflies ii. 95 The larval head..is dorsally somewhat bilobed, in extreme cases strongly cleft centrally (the epicranial notch).

Compounds

epicranial suture n. Entomology a suture (suture n. 3) between parts of the epicranium of an insect's head; spec. a group of such sutures shaped like an inverted letter Y, present in certain adult insects.

ΚΠ

1839 G. Newport in Todd's Cycl. Anat. & Physiol. II. 895/1 In the osculant family, Blattidæ, the epicranium is exceedingly shortened, but retains along its vertex a trace of the epicranial suture.

1932 Techn. Bull. (U.S. Dept. Agric.) 331 19 The other pair runs from just anterior to the epicranial suture to the mouth opening.

2005 Florida Entomologist 88 506/2 The lateral arms of the epicranial suture, usually termed frontal sutures, are reduced or lost in various taxa.
