The metascutellum excludes the metascutellar arm, therefore not serially homologous with the mesoscutellum.

The middle region of the metanotum. In Apocrita, only the mesoscutellum is evident and is simply called the scutellum, whereas in symphyta both the mesoscutellum and metascutellum are present.
