Abstract: Additions and corrections to the catalogue of the Scathophagidae (Diptera) of
the Palaearctic Region (ŠIFNER 2008) are presented. Two new com- binations,
Norellisoma altaicum (Ozerov, 2008), comb. nov. and Norellisoma yolduense
(Ozerov, 2008), comb. nov., both transferred from Norellia Robineau- Desvoidy,
1830, and one new synonym, Scathophaga eoa Ozerov, 2007, syn. nov. = Scathophaga
mellipes (Coquillett, 1899), are formally established. Including these changes,
the Palaearctic fauna now contains 38 valid genera, 220 species and
198 synonyms.
