Studies of Ephydrinae (Diptera: Ephydridae), IV : revision of the Australian species of subgenus Neoscatella malloch / Wayne N. Mathis and Willis W. Wirth
The Australian species of Scatella, subgenus Neoscatella, are revised. Keys to subgenera and species, illustrations, and distribution maps are provided. The subgenus Neoscatella is provisionally recognized, because its monophyly could not be established. A phylogeny is suggested for the Australian species, in which three species-groups are recognized. Nine Australian species are reported, of which six are described as new: Scatella (Neoscatella) albilutea, S. austrina, S. bicolar, S. insularis, S. norrisi, and S. tasmaniae. Neoscatella victoria Cresson is now included in the genus Scatella (new combination).
