H. Loew // 14496 // Scatella pumilio m. [handwritten] // Holotypus [red]' (ZMHB).</p><p><b>Other material examined. BELGIUM:</b> Knokke (Zwijn), 5.iii.1950, M. Bequaert leg., 1 ♂ (RBINS). <b>GERMANY:</b> Berlin-Jungferheide, 22.iii.1908, L. Oldenberg leg., 1 ♂ (SDEI).</p><p><b>Diagnosis.</b> Body grey with pattern on mesonotum (Figs 24, 25); face not shiny, without whittish microtomentum; acrostichal setulae similar in size; wing with conspicuous spots (Figs 21, 22); margin of wing at apex of vein R 4+5 rounded (Fig. 21); knob of halter light brown; male terminalia (Figs 10–12) with epandrial anterior margin slightly projected medially (Fig. 10), phallapodeme Y-shaped, split posteriorly (Fig. 12).</p><p><b>Distribution.</b> Palaearctic: Belgium (BASTIN 1931, ZATWARNICKI 2023), Czech Republic (KUBÁTOVÁ- HIRšOVÁ 2006, ZATWARNICKI & KEJVAL 2022), Germany (BÄHRMANN 1988, HOLLMANN- SCHIRRMACHER & ZATWARNICKI 1999), Hungary (PAPP & ADÁM 1996), Poland (LOEW 1860, the type locality), Portugal (STUKE et al. 2024). Old records by BEUTHIN (1887), KRÖBER (1910, 1935), SAAGER (1970) are possibly misidentification of other <i>Scatophila</i> species.</p><p><b>Remarks.</b> Labels of the holotype and short redescription of <i>Scatophila pumilio</i> were provided by PAPP (1975). The species was erroneously synonymized with <i>S. noctula</i> (Meigen, 1830) by ZATWARNICKI (1987), then resurrected from synonymy by ZATWARNICKI & MATHIS (1994).</p>
