The mesonotum is composed of three parts: the prescutum (not differentiated in most Diptera, except for some Nematocera), the scutum and the scutellum. The largest of these three is the scutum which is usually divided by a suture in an anterior part and a posterior part, the presutural and postsutural areas, respectively.
