“…Although the literature on Axysta is sparse, perhaps reflecting the paucity of specimens in collections, the genus-group name was proposed relatively early in the nomenclatural history of shore flies (Haliday 1839). Clausen (1983) reviewed this history in his revision.…”

Axysta austra sp. n. from Australia, A. indica sp. n. from India, and A. nikita sp. n. from Thailand are described. The synonymy of A. americana Clausen with A. nigrifacies (Miyagi) is proposed. The genus Axysta is recorded from the Australasian and Oriental Regions for the first time. Keys to genera in Hyadinini and species of Axysta are provided, as are illustrations of all species.KEY WORDS: Diptera, Ephydridae, Axysta, new species, Australia, India, Thailand Specimens of Axysta are uncommon in collections and perhaps in nature, and discovery of specimens and undescribed species from the Australasian and Oriental Regions was wholly unexpected, especially as the genus was generally known to have a north temperate distribution (Clausen 1983, Mathis and. Describing and otherwise documenting these species within the context of a species review is the primary purpose of this paper. This review was prompted when collections made by Dr. N. Vikhrev in Thailand were made available to us for study and one of the new species described below was discovered.To facilitate identification of the genus, which is generally uncommon, we have included keys to the subtribes and genera within Hyadinini. We are reviewing Axysta rather than producing a more comprehensive revision because Clausen's (1983) thorough revision is largely current and valid for much of the world. His illustrations, which he graciously allowed us to use herein, should be consulted if there are questions about the identification of a species. We are essentially updating Clausen's revision with the addition of new taxa and new locality information.The shore-fly genus Axysta Haliday (1839) currently includes seven species (three new species are added in this paper) that are found in both the Old and New Worlds (Mathis and Zatwarnicki 1995). Although the genus is generally widespread and is now known to occur in most biotic regions except the Afroand Neotropics, the included species have relatively more restricted distributions: A. cesta (Haliday 1833) from Europe, A. nigrifacies Miyagi (1977) from Japan, A. bradleyi Cresson (1930) from the United States, and A. americana Clausen (1983) and A. extera (Cresson 1924) from the United States and Canada.

“…Although largely overlooked, Glenanthe was described relatively early in the nomenclatural history of shore fl ies (Haliday 1839) as a subgenus of Hydrellia Robineau-Desvoidy, with H. ripicola Haliday as its type species and then as the only included species. Loew (1860) fi rst accorded generic status to the group, and its type species remained the only included species until late in the 19th century when Becker (1896) described G. fuscinervis from specimens collected in Norway.…”

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. Valdez-Cordova (Census Area): Gulkana River (19.3 km N Glennallen; 62°16.1'N, 145°23.1'W)), and S. mystacina sp. nov. (Utah. Grand: Green River (15.3 km N; 39°7'N, 110°6.6'W; 1225 m)). Specimens of S. carinata Sturtevant and Wheeler syn. nov. are reported herein to be conspecific with S. tuberculosa Cresson, the latter name having priority. Five species (S. contaminata (Stenhammar), S. cribrata (Stenhammar), S. iowana Wheeler, S. mesogramma (Loew), and S. unicornis Czerny)) are discovered to have Holarctic distributions, especially the Alaskan fauna, and S. contaminata (Stenhammar) is reported for the first time from the Nearctic Region. Emphasis is given to structures of the male terminalia, which are fully illustrated and described. Detailed locality data and distribution maps for included species are provided. For perspective and to facilitate recognition of genera, the tribe Scatellini is diagnosed and a key to genera and species groups from the New World are provided.
