Usually paired, often triangular regions posterior to the mesoscutum that usually appear as anterolateral regions of the scutellum; the term is usually used for the entire structure but each axilla has both a dorsal surface and a lateral panel of the axilla.

The area delimited anteriorly by the transscutal articulation and posteriorly by a virtual line along the scutoscutellar sulcus, including the mesoscutellar pit if present, to the mesonotal margin, but not including the postalar process if present.
