Synonyms
Scatophaga inquinata Meigen, 1826
Scathophaga inquinata (Meigen, 1826)
Cordylura analis Meigen, 1826 (p. 244)
Scatophaga analis Meigen, 1826 (p. 251)
Scatophaga thoracica Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
Scatophaga umbrarum Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
Scatophaga turpis Haliday (in Curtis), 1832 (nomen nudum)

Note: the species-group-name "analis" has been used by Meigen (1826) twice, once in Cordylura and once in Scatophaga. Apparently, he believed these two to be different species. Subsequent authors have considered these two taxa as nomina dubia that cannot be identified from the original description and the types are apparently lost. However, Sifner (2008) has argued that both "analis" taxa are synonyms of the present species and I accept these tentative synonymies here. The Fauna-Europaea-Web-Service (note: external link) additionally lists a third "analis" taxon, as a separate species "Scathophaga analis Meigen, 1803". I have not been able to trace the original description of this taxon and have no further information about it.

Similarly, the taxa thoracica, umbrarum and turpis are also usually regarded as nomina dubia, but were placed in synonymy by Sifner (2008) as well. Again I accept here these tentative synonymies.
