(Fig. 1) Ephydra australis Walker, 1853: 409. Scatella (Neoscatella) insularis Mathis &amp; Wirth, 1981: 24, new synonym. Type material. The lectotype female of S. australis (herein designated) is in poor condition, nearly completely (apart from abdomen and wings) covered by fungal mycelium (Fig. 1), labelled: "68 4", " australis ", "V D L", "Tasmania. W. W. Saunders B. M. 1868 - 4.", " Neoscatella australis Walker det. B. H. Cogan 1975" preserved in NHMUK. Type locality of the senior synonym is " Van Dieman's Land" (= Tasmania); localities of junior synonym type series are two islands (Little Dog and Fisher) between the northeast coast of Tasmania and southeastern Australia. Diagnosis. The species is closely related to S. austrina Mathis &amp; Wirth, but is distinguished from other species by the costal vein of male thickened; wing with two subapical spots in cell R5 apicad of posterior crossvein, if connected to form one white area, aligned almost perpendicularly to longitudinal veins. Distribution. Australasian/Oceanian: Australia (Tasmania, and two nearby islands: Little Dog and Fisher). Remarks. Mathis &amp; Zatwarnicki (1995) reported that the type of Ephydra australis Walker was apparently lost (note that they inadvertently referred to it as Notiphila australis), but it has been rediscovered in NHMUK (Fig. 1). Detailed examination shows it is the same species as S. insularis Mathis and Wirth: wing with a pale spot towards the base of cell R1, which features in some females of S. insularis, but not in other species of this group. Also other spots are identical as on the photograph in Mathis &amp; Wirth (1981, fig. 44), anterior acrostichal setae are short as on the illustration nr. 46 in above paper. The holotype of the junior synonym is a male and is preserved in Australian National Insect Collection (Canberra, Australia).</description><description>Published as part of Zatwarnicki, Tadeusz &amp; Irwin, Anthony G., 2018, Taxonomic notes on the genera Scatella and Scatophila (Diptera: Ephydridae) with a remark on Trixoscelis chilensis (Trixoscelididae), pp. 91-109 in Zootaxa 4377 (1) on pages 93-94, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4377.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/1163298</description><identifier>https://zenodo.org/record/5967093</identifier><identifier>10.5281/zenodo.5967093</identifier><identifier>oai:zenodo.org:5967093</identifier><relation>info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/url/http://treatment.plazi.org/id/A26487EBFFE65B74FF0C0E002A6AFE6A</relation><relation>doi:10.11646/zootaxa.4377.1.6</relation><relation>url:http://zenodo.org/record/1163298</relation><relation>url:http://publication.plazi.org/id/5E5DFF93FFE45B77FF9B0C3C295FFFC5</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.1163300</relation><relation>url:http://zoobank.org/CD3ED409-1877-4141-9AE3-ADAC1BE329BE</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.5967092</relation><relation>url:https://zenodo.org/communities/biosyslit</relation><rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</rights><rights>https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode</rights><source>Taxonomic notes on the genera Scatella and Scatophila (Diptera: Ephydridae) with a remark on Trixoscelis chilensis (Trixoscelididae), pp. 91-109 in Zootaxa 4377(1) 93-94</source><subject>Biodiversity</subject><subject>Taxonomy</subject><subject>Animalia</subject><subject>Arthropoda</subject><subject>Insecta</subject><subject>Diptera</subject><subject>Ephydridae</subject><subject>Scatella</subject><subject>Scatella australis</subject><title>Scatella (Neoscatella) australis Zatwarnicki &amp; Irwin 2018, new combination</title><type>Other:info:eu-repo/semantics/other</type><type>Other:publication-taxonomictreatment</type><recordID>5967093</recordID></dc>
