This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Zatwarnicki, Tadeusz, Mathis, Wayne N. (2024): Revision of the Nearctic Species of the Shore-Fly Genus Scatophila Becker (Diptera: Ephydridae). Zootaxa 5487 (1): 1-100, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5487.1.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5487.1.1 Abstract The Nearctic species of the shore-fly genus Scatophila Becker are revised. We treat 26 species of which three are new (type locality noted in parenthesis): Scatophila angusta sp. nov. (Oregon. Baker: Goose Creek (35 km E Baker City; 44°49.2'N, 117°27.79'W; 825 m )), S. bolwigi sp. nov. (Alaska.
