Adult Anatomy
Dorsal part of the external adult mesothorax. It is composed of four partially fused regions, the prescutum, scutum, scutellum and postnotum (Fabian et al., 2016).
Sometimes referred to as the notum. Strictly, notum refers to the upper part (tergum) of a thoracic segment (McAlpine, 1981), so there are 3 nota; the pro-, meso- and meta-notum.
