Habitat and specimen evidence
Scatella cinereifacies was described from specimens collected on wet rocks at ʻŌpaekaʻa Stream. This links the species to a precise Kauaʻi microhabitat and provides more information than an island checklist alone. The revision’s distribution summary treats it as Kauaʻi-restricted. Adult collection records do not establish which material larvae consume, how long development takes, or how many populations persist today.
