Comments: Scaptomyza montana of Basden (1954) was misidentified. The true montana (Basden, 1949) (described from North America) was synonymised with flava (Fallén, 1823c) by Hackman (1959), who stated that Basden's montana was an undescribed species. It remains undescribed. (Bachli, pers. comm. in Chandler, 1998: 156).
