epicranial aponeurosis

A: The aponeurosis called epicranial aponeurosis (or galea aponeurotica) is the next layer.

Inserted into the galea aponeurotica, or epicranial aponeurosis, the occipital belly communicates with the frontal belly by an intermediate tendon.

Above these lines the bone is covered by the galea aponeurotica (epicranial aponeurosis); below them it forms part of the temporal fossa, and affords attachment to the temporalis muscle.
