Abstract: A catalogue of the species of the family Scathophagidae of the Palae- arctic
region is given, including notes on their taxonomy, distribution data, and new
faunistic records. Exact data on old localities of some species, including the
current local names, are provided. The catalogue contains 37 genera and
220 valid species, 193 synonyms (including 25 new ones), and 12 doubtful
species. The following new combinations are proposed: Amaurosoma truncatum (Fan,
1976), comb. nov., and Amaurosoma indotatum (Engelmark, 1999), comb. nov., from
the genus Nanna Becker, 1894; Gimnomera alanica (Ozerov, 1999), comb. nov.,
Gimnomera tukuringa (Ozerov, 1999), comb. nov., Gimnomerra sibirica (Engelmark,
1999), comb. nov., and Gimnomera novgorodovae (Ozerov, 2006), comb. nov., from
Cochliarium Becker, 1894; Norellisoma longiabdominum (Sun, 1992), comb. nov.,
Norellisoma triangulum (Sun, 1992), comb. nov., Norellisoma caucasicum (Ozerov,
1993), comb. nov., Norellisoma insulare (Ozerov, 1993), comb. nov., Norellisoma
montanopratense (Ozerov, 1993), comb. nov., and Norel- lisoma orientale (Ozerov,
1993), comb. nov., from Norellia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830; Phrosia remmi (Elberg,
1972), comb. nov., from Cordilura Fallén, 1810. The following new synonyms are
