About Scatella amnica
The 2014 revision added Kauaʻi to the documented range of Scatella amnica.
Habitat and specimen evidence
The 2014 revision added Kauaʻi to the documented range of Scatella amnica. The island material includes a 2010 collection made while sweeping along Mōhihi Stream. This supplies a specific freshwater setting for the record, rather than merely the broad label “shore fly.” The revision supports adult occurrence; it does not establish a Kauaʻi larval diet, generation time, or island-wide abundance.
