Sturtevant, 1939

The subgenus Sophophora of the genus Drosophila was first described by Alfred Sturtevant in 1939. It contains the best known drosophilid species, Drosophila melanogaster.

Phylogeny

Currently, ten species groups are recognized:

Sophophora
Old World



 melanogaster  species  group



 montium  species  group





 ananassae  species  group



 fima  species  group





 obscura  species  group



New World


 willistoni  species  group



 saltans  species  group




 Lordiphosa




  • melanogaster species group (65 species, including D. melanogaster and D. simulans)
  • montium species group (88)
  • ananassae species group (24)
  • obscura species group (41)
  • saltans species group (21)
  • willistoni species group (23)
  • dentissima species group (17)
  • fima species group (23)
  • populi species group (2)
  • dispar species group (3)

The subgenus is paraphyletic because the genus Lordiphosa in also placed within this subgenus.
