About Scatella cilipes
Scatella cilipes has Kauaʻi records from wet stream-edge rocks, including Wailua Falls, as well as later stream collections.
Habitat and specimen evidence
Scatella cilipes has Kauaʻi records from wet stream-edge rocks, including Wailua Falls, as well as later stream collections. These adult records support a freshwater-margin association. Its distribution extends beyond Kauaʻi within Hawaiʻi. Shared use of wet margins by several shore-fly species means that habitat alone cannot confirm identification; the revision’s taxonomic treatment remains the appropriate basis for distinguishing it.
