Abstract

Flies of the genus Scatella are small and dark-gray, and many species have distinctive whitish spots on their gray wings. Most species are found in damp environment, such as the borders of marshes, seashore areas, swamps, lakes, ponds, streams, and paddy fields. The Korean shore fly genus Scatella Robineau-Desvoidy has been taxonomically noted. A total of five species have been identified: S. calida Matsumura, 1915, S. nipponica Miyagi, 1977, S. obsoleta Loew, 1861, S. paludum (Meigen, 1830), and S. tenuicosta Collin, 1930. This is the first report of S. calida Matsumura, 1915 from Korea. A key to the Korean Scatella species and photographs of the external features have been provided.
