Note: the status of the nominal Scatophaga soror described from South Africa is unclear. Some authors consider it as a separate species or subspecies, but Sifner (2008) has placed it in the synonymy of the present species. In addition, a number of taxa described from South Africa are also placed in the synonymy of the present species. Although there is the possibility that the South African population is indeed a separate taxon at the level of subspecies or species, I provisionally follow the notion that these taxa should be placed in synonymy, but more information about their status is neccessary.
