About Scatella clavipes
Scatella clavipes is a Hawaiian endemic recorded from Kauaʻi and several other islands.
Habitat and specimen evidence
Scatella clavipes is a Hawaiian endemic recorded from Kauaʻi and several other islands. Kauaʻi specimens include Kawaikōī Stream and a coastal-trail seep. These are collection environments for adults, not a demonstrated complete range of larval habitats. Its occurrence in more than one wet setting is useful context when searching for it, but does not substitute for the morphological characters needed to separate similar shore flies.
